Resumo: | With the intention of increasing the focus on communication and finding motivating speaking activities to encourage students to interact in the foreign language classroom with their peers and teacher, this research project investigated whether playful activities, such as songs, games and role-play activities can help primary level students improve their speaking skills. Playful activities were used to promote spoken interaction among students in a third year class, engaging and motivating students to make them talk in English. In order to collect data to investigate the development of students’ speaking skills, the research tools used were questionnaires, a teacher reflective journal and group interviews. Children’s motivation to learn was always regarded, since it is crucial to engage students in new and diverse activities and tasks, helping them overcome their learning difficulties. Students’ reaction to these speaking activities revealed great enthusiasm and willingness to overcome the challenges that these presented. Their progress as foreign language speakers was monitored during the first school term, and their positive attitude towards speaking activities showed that these kept them motivated and engaged in the lessons. The notion that they could improve their skills playing in English was confirmed during the group interviews, as students justified that they could learn more and have fun at the same time. |

Foram utilizadas atividades lúdicas para promover a interação oral no seio de uma turma de terceiro ano, envolvendo e motivando os alunos para que falassem em Inglês. De modo a recolher dados para investigar o desenvolvimento das competências comunicativas dos alunos, foram utilizadas ferramentas de pesquisa, tais como questionários, um diário do professor e entrevistas em grupo. A motivação das crianças para aprender foi sempre salvaguardada, uma vez que é crucial para envolver os alunos em novas e diversas atividades e tarefas, ajudando-os a ultrapassar as suas dificuldades de aprendizagem. A reação dos alunos a estas atividades comunicativas foi de grande entusiasmo e vontade de vencer os desafios que estas lhes apresentavam. O seu progresso como falantes de língua estrangeira foi observado durante o primeiro período letivo, e a sua atitude positiva relativamente às atividades comunicativas mostraram que estas os mantiveram motivados e empenhados nas aulas. A noção de que poderiam aperfeiçoar as suas competências “brincando” em Inglês foi confirmada durante as entrevistas de grupo, em que os alunos se justificavam que podiam aprender mais e divertir-se ao mesmo tempo.Leslie, Carolyn ElizabethMatos, Ana GonçalvesRUNInácio, Maria Salomé Batista Rodrigues2018-05-15T00:30:29Z2017-05-172017-03-302017-05-17T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/21798TID:201702541porinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-03-11T04:08:48Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/21798Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:26:58.283357Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
