| description | This work has been developed to determine the importance of the use of crossword puzzles to develop vocabulary in children in fourth grade in Basic Education. Crossword puzzles have been defined as tasks that help children to develop vocabulary and keep their minds active. When students use this kind of games, they have to work in order to complete the task. Crossword puzzles involve students’ interaction, which facilitates language acquisition. Also, crossword puzzle activities remove teacher’s domination, and students get a chance to participate in class, to open and close conversations, to interact naturally, to interrupt, and rise to the challenge.
The use of crossword puzzles requires learners to use the target language. They can develop their vocabulary, understanding, correct spelling, and writing skills. Without any doubt, crossword-puzzle activities constitute some of the best teacher’s tools to develop vocabulary. |
