“Game-work as a strategy to teach English to efl children of the initial level”

Games are useful techniques that contribute to teaching and learning the English language in children. For this reason, the objective of this research was to identify the teachers' perception in the use of games as a strategy for teaching English to children at the "Ernesto Bucheli" School in Ambato. In the present project, a quantitative approach and descriptive methodology were applied; for data collection, the survey as a technique and a questionnaire adapted from Ibrahim (2017) were carried out. The results showed teachers recognize the importance of using games as a technique for teaching English language since they help students to reduce demotivation, develop cooperative learning, practice English language skills, and unconsciously learn grammar and vocabulary. In addition, teachers are conscious that games develop natural communication. Thus, games are an accessible and favorable technique for teaching a foreign language to children at an initial level, since their brain is ready to acquire new knowledge easily and in a fun way. To conclude, based on the results, nine games are suggested to teachers for applying in their classes according to the needs of the students and to reach the objective in each lesson class. Finally, it is important to emphasize that games are easy, fun and practical; so, they allow teachers to develop a great job as facilitators in the acquisition of new knowledge in the English language.
