Abstract
"English is one of the most spoken languages around the world and is the most used in most fields of human knowledge.The learning of English in Mexico has become of primary importance, and it has got a central role in education. Currently, most institutions include English lessons in their curricula. However,it seems that teaching English to children, who cannot yet read or write, has become a challenge for most institutions and teachers since, in the vast majority of schools, in particular in kindergartens, children are not making the expected progress in the learning of English. Among the many challenges faced by language teachers, we can mention, teachers´ lack of methodologies for teaching to kids, use of adequate materials, inappropriate techniques for teaching vocabulary or just learners´ lack of interest in learning the language. In response to the facts described above and using observation data, this research reports how a language teacher maximized her use of audio-visual materials in teaching vocabulary to kids. The findings of this study show that audio- visual materials are essential resources that help kindergarten teachers to teach vocabulary, especially since the kids in that stage cannot yet read or write.”
