There are various theories which backup this project; such theories explain the way in which people learn languages. It was necessary to consider some theories and approaches for language acquisition, and some helpful theories of vocabulary acquisition to be used by language teachers. It is also important to mention some teaching and learning strategies which are used not only by the teacher but also by the students, who are the main participants in the teaching and learning process. It is necessary to reflect on the use of rhyme and rhythm to help students learn meaning and pronunciation, and store them in their minds, this way they know, at any moment, which words they need to convey a message. Considering all the above ideas, the contents and the instruments to be taught were chosen and applied in this English class. After a period of 3 months of application of a strategy based on rhythmic elements, the results show that children felt comfortable and enjoyed working in this way. The results also show that there is a considerable improvement in vocabulary knowledge if the pre- and post-tests are compared. In conclusion, it is possible to say that rhythmic elements motivate children to learn a foreign language as well as help them improve their vocabulary knowledge.LAP LAMBERT Academic Publishing2021-10-28T16:28:38Z2021-10-28T16:28:38Z2021info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/bookapplication/pdf978-62-0-3-92462-6, EAN 97862039246260000-0000http://dspace.ucuenca.edu.ec/handle/123456789/37178https://www.lap-publishing.com/catalog/details/store/cn/book/978-620-3-92462-6/teaching-efl-vocabulary-to-young-learners-through-rhyme-and-rhythm?search=Teaching%20EFL%20vocabulary%20to%20young%20learners%20through%20rhyme%20and%20rhythmLambert Academic Publishingreponame:Repositorio Universidad de Cuencainstname:Universidad de Cuencainstacron:UCUENCAes_ESinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2021-11-02T10:02:12Zoai:dspace.ucuenca.edu.ec:123456789/37178Institucionalhttp://dspace.ucuenca.edu.ec/Universidad públicahttps://www.ucuenca.edu.ec/http://dspace.ucuenca.edu.ec/oai.Ecuador...opendoar:41862021-11-02T10:02:12Repositorio Universidad de Cuenca - Universidad de Cuencafalse
