Abstract

This work is arises from the concern of how low the English level and general knowledge currently exists on a national level, this social problem is due to the fact that the current educational system has not been modified. Therefore, monotonous and repetitive teaching methods remain inforced in the classrooms, thus generating a lack of knowledge when it comes to learning the English language, causing Ecuadorians to have a worldwide disadvantage. The research that was carried out aims to identify the optimal age to start learning a foreign language, and the research design is qualitative. As a result of the interviews applied to teachers, parents and experts in English language teaching, and the observations made to children between the ages of 5 and 7, it was possible to plan a proposal based on the Total Physical Response methodology so that the children can learn English interactively.
