Description: | This study explores the use of supplementary materials for teaching children in EFL classes. Its principal aim was to determine and analyze the type of supporting materials used for teaching children among 4th (8 years old aprox.), 5th (9 years old aprox.) and 6th (10 years old approximately) grades, who study at a private school in Quito. The analysis was carried out after thirty classes thoroughly observed, and it was found that visuals were the mostly used materials, for instance: pictures, handouts, white/black board, as well. It was also found that audio and realia were used as extra resources to develop the learning process more effectively. Each material was gauged in terms of pertinence, appropriateness for the level and understanding of the students, and quality of the design and elaborations. Furthermore, the analysis of learning styles revealed that in the majority of the classes this concern was not taken into consideration and thus the teachers need to be aware of the importance and significance of the role of the supplementary materials in developing students’ critical thinking about the English language. |
