According to research, thisstrategy has generated more interest than other creative language teaching theories, emphasizingthat infancy is the perfect age to acquire a language. As a result, it is vital that students feel engaged in authentic learning and actively learn a new language, which will lead to fruitful conversationsin natural settings. Further, studentsneedmotivation, concentration, and problem-solving skills to achievean adequate levelof English language learning.This meansthatthe teaching-learning process should consider applicability and constraints. Consequently, modern education requires significant adjustments to pedagogical and technology components. In this context, the researcher made a deep analysis of the literature review linked to both variables: the Natural Approach and the improvement of the vocabulary in learners of fourth grade. The methodology utilized was qualitative and quantitative, allowing for data collection via a diagnostic test, a pre-test, a post-test, an observation checklist, and a survey with their parents' approval.
