Roleplay technique : improving communication and intrapersonal skills in Fourth graders.

Abstract

Over the last decades, English as a foreign language teaching in Colombia has faced many challenges, especially in teaching kids, in which grammar theoretical perspectives have been the only focus, while oral performance skills have been set apart from the goal, all this due to the lack of opportunities, innovation, investment and resources (Clavijo, 2016). This document seeks to provide a pedagogical proposal, in which role plays activities enhance communication and intrapersonal skills, such as self-confidence, in fourth graders through a Blended learning approach. These activities are designed as an alternative way to improve kids’ English performance.
