El juego como estrategia lúdica para innovar la enseñanza y el aprendizaje del inglés como lengua extranjera en el grado quinto primaria del colegio Santa Teresita de Lisieux.

Abstract

English is a language that is recognized today as a “lengua franca”, therefore, it is necessary to innovate with strategies to motivate and facilitate the learning process by students. The general objective of the project is to apply the game as a playful strategy for the strengthening of teaching and learning in the foreign language corresponding to English, in the fifth grade elementary school children of the Santa Teresita de Lisieux school. The type of investigation was qualitative, based on Pedagogical Action Research, with six informants. The techniques and instruments of data collection were direct observation with the respective field diaries, a survey based on a questionnaire and of course, and four semi-structured interviews applied after the classes. The most important result was that the game is an innovative strategy to guide the English subject, as well, it was found that the benefits that support the theorists of this research were corroborated by the students. In the same way, the fifth students prefer the cooperative game, specifically the symbolic and role play. However, it is clear that in this grade isn’t very favorable to play competitive games, because as observed it can cause problems between the students. As conclusions, it can be determined that the objectives were effectively achieved, something that you can see in the positive opinions that the students had about this project. Also, it was very important to the teacher; because it was found that you can effectively educate from the game not only in early childhood but in any school grade and just in this way you can do more meaningful learning in students.
