Nevertheless, little is known about the role games can play in Foreign Language Acquisition with young learners. The aim of this project is to investigate how Infant Education teachers use them to promote SLA and whether their use can help to achieve this objective. Firstly, this study briefly reviews the techniques of English teaching and how these can influence the use of games. Subsequently, key theories and research concerned with the importance of games in Infant Education, are reviewed, as well as the suitability of using games as a methodology for teaching English. Moreover, eight games provided by several teachers from bilingual schools are analyzed and the extent to which they promote the SLA is evaluated. Finally, data from interviews with two teachers is examined to investigate their opinion about games as an educational method. 000016864 521__ $$aGraduado en Maestro Educación Infantil 000016864 540__ $$aDerechos regulados por licencia Creative Commons 000016864 6531_ $$agames 000016864 6531_ $$amethodology 000016864 6531_ $$asla 000016864 6531_ $$afocus on meaning 000016864 6531_ $$acommunicative competence 000016864 6531_ $$abilingual teachers 000016864 6531_ $$abilingual education 000016864 700__ $$aLafuente Millán, Enrique$$edir. 000016864 7102_ $$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bFilología Inglesa y Alemana$$cFilología Inglesa 000016864 8560_ $$f630198@celes.unizar.es 000016864 8564_ $$s824298$$uhttps://zaguan.unizar.es/record/16864/files/TAZ-TFG-2014-2085.pdf$$yMemoria (spa) 000016864 909CO $$ooai:zaguan.unizar.es:16864$$pdriver$$ptrabajos-fin-grado 000016864 950__ $$a 000016864 980__ $$aTAZ$$bTFG$$cFEDU
