Paper presentation in The Third International Language and Language Teaching Conference (LLTC) 2016 on 21 – 22 October 2016 in Sanata Dharma University, Yogyakarta.
Speaking English is usually considered for the students as an ability very difficult to learn and practice at school. In the EFL class they prefer to use their L1 to interact with their teacher and classmates.
For this reason, this action research is focused on the increase of the communication between the students and the teacher in English in a Chilean school with students at the age of 11 years old.
The results showed that one of the most important factor is the lack of confidence, practice and knowledge of this vocabulary.
Giving them the tools and creating an eye-catching project with the students is possible to change this situation and make a change in the life of your students learning a new language.
