Justification

 

This project aims to implement ludic activities such as poetry, storytelling, tongue twisters, songs in primary grades, since children are not very attached to the English language, it is necessary to motivate them with new technological resources to generate love for the language and that they learn while having fun at the same time because they come from a classical teaching method in which students only write vocabulary of the language or planes when they forget a word in English.

Finally, this project will mainly help students and teachers who will be able to make a good use of new technological resources while the students will learn English vocabulary and phrases through ludic activities that will be implemented in the classroom. Therefore, the students will be encouraged since they will be able to overcome the deficiencies that have occurred throughout the learning process with regard to the English area. In the same way, as a teacher in preparation we will have the opportunity to have a significant experience in a real educational context where it will be applied into practice.
