Description
Summary:The following project was developed at Juan Montalvo Elementary School with the goal of using some techniques to avoid misspelling. The participants who were involved in this application were the director of the school, a teacher of the English subject, and mainly ten students from the seventh grade. A survey, an interview of an expert, a pre-test and also a post-test were necessary to carry out this investigation. It was clearly found that students had problems when they learnt English through reading, speaking and writing similar as some other institutions where English is taught as a second language. This project may help those students who are shy when they made mistakes in the learning process. It also may make them feel more secure of themselves when they participated in class. Finally, this investigation may help them think about English as one of the interactive subjects and not a boring and unnecessary one as it was taught in the past.
