Estratégias lúdicas para o ensino de língua inglesa: estudo de caso único

Abstract

This work aimed to explore playful strategies in order to help the process of teaching and learning the English language for children. For this matter, I used the resources of the method known as action research where, with the participant’s help, I planned classes and materials to be used during the teaching process. The research was conducted through a single case study, involving a 16 six-year-old child, which was not having the first contact with the English language. The purpose of the analysis of the results obtained during this research was to understand if there would be effectiveness in the use of activities different from the traditional context, that is, how to teach in a completely different context of the classrooms, using different methodologies and materials, which could make studying more attractive and pleasurable, when it comes to teaching English language, besides observing the evolution and advancement in the area of subject knowledge. Thus, I identified the effectiveness of the type of methodology I used, observing the learning process through which the child went from the first contact to the last, and finally, sought to report the progress of the improvement of speech and writing of the child in relation to the English language.
