Design of lesson plans, booklet with activities and material for teaching english to children from 3 to 5 years old at the University of Cuenca daycare

Abstract

This research paper analyzed the needs in the teaching-learning process of the kids from Little Angels Children's Center of the University of Cuenca with the aim of designing a guide that contains lesson plans, activities, and materials for the teaching of the English language by nursery school teachers. Data were obtained through the use of a combination of methods that allowed the researcher to point out the information obtained in an effective way. The results showed the different needs that served as a basis to develop strategies, methodologies, activities, and learning materials for teaching English. This guide could support preschool daycare educators in such a way that they might be able to impart an adequate daycare teaching style of a foreign language (English) while avoiding the conduction of classes without previous planning. Therefore, this proposal is a possible solution to this problem.
