Abstract
This research was conducted during the academic year 2023-2024 in the coastal region of Ecuador. It took place at the Primary School Marquez de Selva Alegre, a private school in the northern part of the city of Guayaquil. The study included a needs analysis and a series of activities applied to sixth grade students to determine their learning needs and aspects of their socio-cultural context that could influence their learning process. Despite having previous knowledge of English in classes at the same school or other institutions, the students' oral skills were identified as the weakest during the diagnosis phase. Understanding their real needs was crucial for successful intervention planning. The main objective of this research was to evaluate how the use of ludic activities and games could improve the oral skills of sixth grade children with level A2 at the Marquez de Selva Alegre school. The use of ludic activities and games to develop oral production was based on theoretical aspects raised in the research proposal. The study used a mixed approach, combining experimental research and action research. Scientific methods, including inductive-deductive reasoning and analytic-synthetic techniques, were applied, along with observation, surveys and tests as research tools. The necessary permits were obtained from the parents of the students and the authorities of the MSA school. The results and information obtained contributed to the development of an intervention plan that took into account the needs of students, learning objectives and microcurricular planning. By comparing the results before and after the intervention, valuable insights were obtained to improve the oral communication skills of A2 level children through ludic activities and games.
