Conclusions:
The real society requires a school that acts as a center of community work, that is
adjusted to the changes of the environment and open to the rest of the world. The
acquisition of communicative competence in at least one foreign language, in this
case English, the language of international use, is considered a necessity in the
integral formation of the child. For this reason, the process of teaching and learning
this language should be part of the study programs of Venezuelan Primary Education,
an object of response to the demands of a holistic education with the demands posed
by globalization and progress technological of today's society. The education of the
21st century imposes a wide and constant opening to other countries, cultures and
ways of life. That is why we recognize the need to start learning English as the global
language from Primary for the cognitive, affective and evaluative development of
children in this stage. As proposed in this essay, the playful activities facilitate the
significant learning of LE in Primary children who have more chance of acquiring the
pronunciation and fluency of the native, through play situations that involve language
with their psychomotor development. The research cites (Figueroa 1999, Hearn and
Garcés 2003, Guerra 2004, Ashworth and Wakefield 2005, Linse 2005, Snarki 2005,
Hines 2005, Kang 2006, Shindler 2006, Alcedo 2006) show the favorable impact of
play activities as a pedagogical approach and motivator of significant LE learning in
primary school children. To conclude, it is important to insist that the specialist
teacher should consider the child's evolutionary process and the psycholinguistic
techniques that underpin his cognitive and socio-affective development in a holistic
vision that allows him to plan the learning activities according to the context and the
biopsychosocial needs of the boy and the girl of this stage.

Conclusions:
Children need to be taught openly in the language. The field of acquisition of a second
language is relatively new. Data since the change of behavior in language learning in
the 60s. Despite all the information and existing research, there are still doubts about
the pedagogy in this subject. What we conclude is that children are more easily able to
learn a language than any adult, they are more flexible. We should take advantage of
this situation and apply the methods by which has shown that positive results are
obtained in the teaching of a language foreign the fundamental premise of these is that
any language is learned by using it, this one it is the great advance of the current
bilingual education system compared to the old one. Being aware of language will
allow us to internalize the structures and transfer the skills learned in the
communicative field, making the student able to live in society and develop a critical
attitude that allows you to judge and resolve real situations. With the boom of
bilingualism, numerous studies have been published that demonstrate the advantages
of speaking two or more languages. In this article on the "Advantages of bilingualism
in the Infancy "of an online magazine (guiainfantil.com) lists the advantages of the
bilingual child:
• Communication: allows the reciprocity of words with foreign people who happen to
be in a certain time in their lives. The fact of knowing two different languages allows
you to read and write in another language which allows greater access to information
and therefore the acquisition of a wider knowledge.
• Cultural: knowing the culture of the country or countries proper to the language
learned enriches the education of the child.
• Knowledge: being able to speak in different languages allows us to receive more
information which will stimulate intellectual development. It is said that bilingual
children are more creative, flexible and have a more open mind to the world and what
surrounds them.
• Work opportunities: nowadays it is a decisive factor when hiring the personnel of a
company.
