    Enhancing phonemic awareness in bilingual kindergarten students : the impact of multisensory material in pre-reading skills
    (Fundación Universitaria Juan N. Corpas, 2024-03) Riaño Riaño, Yenny Juliana; León Castro, Aura Cristina; Osorio de Sarmiento, Marta
    The current research explores the incidence of didactic material in the English learning process while considering phonemic awareness in kindergarten students and its importance in English language teaching. Previous research has discovered that teachers’ beliefs and practices have a significant influence on teaching phonemic processes (Tatto, 2019). Still, little attention has been given to the impact of the instructional material on teaching a language to kindergarten students (Vidal, 2019). The study, which will be carried out considering the population in the William Kilpatrick Kindergarten, adopted a qualitative paradigm and an action research approach to collect data on students’ speaking skills; it was developed through semi-structured interviews. Furthermore, it is expected to help teachers to make informed decisions about the materials they choose for the teaching process. Consequently, this might suggest that an effective approach for teaching English to early childhood students could involve instructional material that takes into account the significance of age and phonemic awareness in the learning process.

    Sound words; a phonemic strategy for the development of pronunciation in kindergarten sStudents
    (Fundación Universitaria Juan N. Corpas, 2024-05) Torres Piraquive, María Paula; León Castro, Aura Cristina; Largo Rodríguez, Jose David
    The present research explores the didactic teaching strategy of sound words which implements the teaching of vowels through rhythmic syllables. This strategy aims to develop students' phonemic awareness for the development of their pronunciation skills by making it more interactive and encouraging greater engagement. Therefore, the aim is to investigate the impact of implementing the sound word strategy on the development of phonemic awareness in a group of kindergarten students learning English as a foreign language and its influence on their pronunciation skills. Based on this, the study adopted an action research approach to collect data on implementing phonemic teaching strategies with a group of William Kilpatrick kindergarten teachers through semi-structured interviews. The analysis will be conducted using an action research approach. It is thus expected that a curricular unit will be implemented to observe the functioning of this teaching strategy and enable students to be better able to recognize and produce the sounds of the language, which, in turn, could improve their pronunciation competence, understanding the impact of implementing phonemic strategies at an early stage and its contribution to the English language learning process
