摘要:The importance of the English language in today’s Education system is beyond doubt. Bearing
in mind that the Spanish Educational Authorities and regulations advocate the
Communicative Approach, this study shows the origin, evolution and results of an innovation
project carried out in the English classes at the 4th, 5th and 6th grades of Primary in a state
school in the autonomous community of Valencia (Spain). For that, the authors-teachers
employed the methods of action research approach, pair work and peer-peer dialogue
supported by the Communicative Approach and collaborative work.
The results will demonstrate the different advantages of employing pair work and peer-peer
activities within the classroom not only to improve children’s English oral skills but also to
contribute to their own personal growth and their development as social citizens.
