Games and puzzles in the english learning process of third grade students: Gamebased learning

Abstract

The present work describes my experience as an intern at the Luis Carlos Lopez Educational Institution for four months. It provides information about my daily duties as an English teacher for children in primary school and how these experiences allowed me to evaluate and identify the strengths and weaknesses of the institution. In addition, this document will analyze and present in detail a problem about the students in third grade who are showing difficulties in vocabulary and expressions they were supposed to learn previously according to the English plan in the school. This paper aims to show how the use of puzzles and games helps the students to improve their vocabulary based on the Game-Based Learning approach.

Keywords: resources, puzzles, games, vocabulary, expressions.
