El teatro como recurso pedagógico para fortalecer la expresión oral en los niños de tercero, quinto y sexto grado de la Institución Educativa Rafael Uribe Uribe, Cúcuta, Norte de Santander.

Abstract

This proposal focused on exploring the importance of theater as a methodological strategy to improve the oral expression ability of students in grades 3, 5 and 6 of the Rafael Uribe Uribe Educational Institution. It`s proposed to implement theatrical activities that involve the adaptation of poems and creations of stories by the students. Theatrical performance is shown as an effective tool to improve communication and personal development of students, while promoting their opinion for culture and literature. In other words, theater allows students to explore and experience forms of communication, including verbal and emotional expression; by working as a team in the preparation and presentation of a play, students can develop skills to listen and communicate more easily, as well as to interpret and understand the emotions and position of others. The objectives outlined in this proposal were raised in order to strengthen the oral expression of students through theater, as well as promote communication skills and creativity, while evaluating the results obtained and the repercussions of these activities. It was possible for the participants to demonstrate greater interest, memory retention and healthy coexistence through the activities carried out within the adaptation of poems and the representation of plays.
