Online Submission, Master's Thesis, Universidad Internacional Iberoamericana
In the last decade the Communicative Approach has taken an important position within the English Language Teaching world. Many countries have abandoned their traditional methods and have started implementing the communicative activities as their language teaching policy. This research has as a main objective to analyze the transitioning to Communicative Activities in a Primary-level EFL Classroom in the Dominican Republic based on that the majority of teachers still work with traditional methods. The investigation also focuses on identifying the communicative activities that students are more receptive to, we analyze new strategies to have successful communicative activities and we also investigate students' attitudes when developing communicative activities. In order to carry out the investigation, three interventions are applied to the classroom, interviews are administered prior and after the sessions and participant observation is implemented as well as the teacher's diary and note-taking as a way of registering the events.
