Thiết kế trò chơi ngôn ngữ nhằm phát triển kĩ năng nói tiếng Anh cho trẻ 5-6 tuổi: Nghiên cứu tại một số trường mầm non ở Thành phố Hà Nội

Tóm tắt

Language games are considered an appropriate form of activity organization in early childhood education, contributing to language development while meeting children’s need for playing. However, the use of language games in English introduction activities in kindergartens remains unsystematic and is not yet grounded in a scientifically based design process, which limits their effectiveness in developing children’s English speaking skills. This study aims to design, provide implementation guidelines, and pilot a system of language games to develop English speaking skills for children aged 5-6. Research data were collected from ten kindergartens in Hanoi through 47 questionnaires administered to preschool teachers teaching English and six semi-structured interviews with English teachers from three language centers. The findings indicate that children demonstrate a moderate level of performance in vocabulary recognition, repetition of model sentences, and production of simple utterances; however, they still face difficulties in pronunciation, lack confidence, and struggle to produce complete English sentences. Based on these results, the study proposes and develops the DREAMS language game system. The pilot results confirm the feasibility and practical value of the system in developing English speaking skills for preschool children.
