Description

Master's Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Didactics - English - Pedagogy, Literature Studies, grade: 2.3, , language: English, abstract: Shopping dialogues, conversations, giving directions, introducing oneself, songs, rhymes, and chants. All of these terms refer to spoken language activities that primary school children stated that they strongly enjoy in the English lesson. It is a well-known fact that the most important competence in foreign language learning (FLL) is speaking. Besides listening comprehension or reading and writing, oral speech production helps the learner to acquire a language most effectively. It is not only essential for succeeding but also places the focus on the learner who actively performs and speaks in the new language to learn it. The result of active involvement is substantial enjoyment. In primary schools, this is especially the case when the activities conducted are designed in such a way that they elicit foreign language (FL) learners' interest by meaningful implementations or authentic content that applies to their own life.
