Diagnostic of the TPR (total physical response) method in the english teaching-learning process at the kindergarten, the case of primer año de Educación general básica “a” at Unidad Educativa “Riobamba” in the academic period September 2021-july 2022

Nowadays learning a foreign language is fundamental in life because if you know another language you will participate more effectively and responsibly in a multicultural world. In addition, teaching a foreign language to children is very feasible, since they are always willing to learn new things due to the great energy they naturally possess. Teaching a foreign language to children can result very challenging since they have to learn a foreign language differently from adults. First, while working with children it is very necessary for teachers to be expressive and active physically, since through gestures or physical movement children can understand the meaning of a noun, an adjective, or a single command easily. Furthermore, it is evidenced that children always need to be in constant movement and interaction, since they are considered holistic and kinesthetic students. In that way, the experience of teaching and learning a foreign language will be active and meaningful. Second, in the present age the education at Kindergarten is considered inefficient, since children learn English by traditional methods. Shortly, it is not being used an appropriate method and activities related with children when teaching English. Therefore, the English level is low. Thus, TPR is the best method for working with children, since it requires a lot of physical movement, interaction and coordination of motor skills. Furthermore, it will be created an enjoyable, interesting and memorable teaching-learning environment. Third, this research is important, since it attempts to make a logical and original diagnostic of the TPR method at the English teaching-learning process at the kindergarten. In addition, it is important because through this research teachers will know how to apply TPR to children actively and meaningfully. Finally, the methodology will be focused on the following aspects: first, the type of the research will be qualitative, Second, the level of the research will be descriptive, Third, the method that will be used will be the ethnographic. Finally, the technique will be the observation and the instrument will be an observation guide.
