| Summary: | The teaching of English has been developed through traditional methods and techniques, such as repetition and memorization of grammar patterns without taking into account the practice of the other skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) within a real context. This has caused a lack of students? involvement in the learning process, and also it has caused most of the students fail the subject and feel disappointed about it. To avoid having problems like the ones mentioned above, we have sought new methods to teach English. The present project focuses on techniques based on the English teacher?s needs and the students? interests. This technique combines the use of the different kinds of Mother Goose Rhymes which provide grammar and vocabulary through fun games, riddles, songs, etc. Most children love playing different games. If these rhymes are used with the Task Based Language Learning Approach (TBLLA) which allows practicing the basic skills within a real context, English is used as a vehicle in the real-world context of the learner, making learning authentic. Students are motivated by playing with the rhymes and they also learn a new language in a natural way by following a four-stage process. In this way, the students learn and have fun, too |
