| description | The importance of the English language in today’s Education system is beyond doubt. Bearing in mind that the Spanish Educational Authorities and regulations advocate the Communicative Approach, this study shows the origin, evolution and results of an innovation project carried out in the English classes at the 4th, 5th and 6th grades of Primary in a state school in the autonomous community of Valencia (Spain). For that, the authors-teachers employed the methods of action research approach, pair work and peer-peer dialogue supported by the Communicative Approach and collaborative work.
The results will demonstrate the different advantages of employing pair work and peer-peer activities within the classroom not only to improve children’s English oral skills but also to contribute to their own personal growth and their development as social citizens. |
