Resumen
The Ministry of Education in Cuba prioritizes the teaching of English in elementary
schools. The main objective of English in that level is the development of the speaking
skill. The goal of teaching speaking is oral fluency, the ability to express oneself
intelligibly: reasonably, accurately and without too much hesitation.
The students of 6th B class at Ramón Pando Ferrer elementary school sometimes
understand the meaning, they rarely show either confidence in using English words and
phrases or reproduce or approximates English pronunciation for most words. Besides,
the students never use varied vocabulary and rarely speak either clearly and loudly or
smoothly with pauses at the end of phrases or group of words. They hardly ever speak
English voluntarily.
The present research came out to propose an interesting, dynamic and motivating
system of teaching aids to develop oral fluency favoring a learning environment in 6th B
class at Ramón Pando Ferrerelementary school
