dc.description.abstract	Este proyecto de investigación acción cualitativa se llevó a cabo en el colegio Colegio Guillermo Cano Isaza. Los participantes fueron estudiantes de quinto grado. Este estudio se propuso explorar el impacto de la implementación de juegos de mesa, con el fin de desarrollar habilidades del habla, con énfasis en la pronunciación. Por ello, se implementaron instrumentos de recolección de datos como diarios de campo, cuestionarios, y grabaciones de audio con el fin de recolectar evidencia a lo largo del proceso. La implementación pedagógica se divide en tres ciclos en los que los estudiantes participaron activamente en los juegos de mesa.	spa
