• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This work reports the impact of nursery rhymes in fostering vocabulary recognition at an early age. This study took place in a private kindergarten located in a city in Mexico. The participants selected for this study were nine preschool children at levels 2 and 3, their ages ranging from 4 to 5 years old. After careful observation, the problem identified in this group was the difficulty in recognizing vocabulary in English. A review of different solution strategies aimed at improving vocabulary recognition in the participants resulted in the design of an intervention strategy to introduce and practice vocabulary: the systematic use of nursery rhymes as well as a number of support activities. In this study, the data collection instruments used were observation, journal, assessment, and classroom documents. After the intervention period, which lasted for over two months, most of the children showed significant progress in their word identification skills and were able to recognize the vocabulary seen in class correctly by matching the word to image.
