OPOL method in Early Childhood Education, for the teaching-learning of vocabulary in the English language

Abstract

Learning a foreign language can be tedious, in addition to the fact that in Latin America there is not much interest in wanting to learn a new language, but what would happen if good foundations are given from childhood, which is why this research aims to demonstrate that the OPOL method allows infants to create the basis for increasing or improving language (vocabulary) in the English language, thanks to the presence of brain plasticity in their first years of life, which at the same time does not generate a space of stress in the teaching- learning process. Using a quasi-experimental methodology for the research.

We worked with two groups as a sample for the application of the OPOL method, an “uncontrolled” group, using its own methodology “Hihg Scope” and another “controlled” group in which the selected method would be applied, for this the children had two moments of evaluation (pre-test and posttest), through an interview as a game, in order to analyze the results before and after the application of the research, the averages of 4 categories raised in the checklist per group were analyzed. Showing positive results in the controlled group in the final evaluation.
