Sumario:The teaching of the English language at the preschool level is essential so that children during their early childhood can acquire the English language as a foreign language (EFL) with the use of strategies such as games, songs, and routines. The study aims to describe the perceptions of future English teachers about the use of strategies to teach the English language to students of Initial I-II at the "Numa Pompilio Llona" school. The approach used was qualitative, the method is descriptive and action research. The technique was data collection through a checklist to know the perceptions of future English teachers about children at the preschool level and a reflection guide to describe the experiences of future teachers. The population was twenty-eight students of Initial I-II. The main exhibitions showed that the children acquired a foreign language after the implementation of the different strategies. The results showed that by implementing games, songs, and routines as strategies at the preschool level, students will be able to acquire language naturally. The songs and games allowed them to acquire vocabulary, structures, and pronunciation in a natural way to produce the foreign language. The routines strategy contributed to remembering patterns to be able to interact with the teacher in class and answer some personal questions. In conclusion, there were positive results in children such as participation, entertainment, foreign language learning, and motivation with the help of strategies in preschoolers. The researchers suggest implementing these strategies into lesson plans for teaching English at the preschool level so that children acquire the language in a fun and natural way.
