Abstract

Neurolinguistic is referred to the relation between the brain and the way that it receives the language, understanding that the brain has 6 areas in which it works in order to acquire, process, and communicate the language, each area has a specific function that allows the acquisition of English as foreign language, using a variety of strategies and activities that help the brain to stimulate the individual in order to be involved into the development of the language. This study reports the findings of how neurolinguistic foster the learning of a foreign language through the Program of Integral Education Seduc (PEIS) as a strategy for teaching preschoolers in CONALDI School, using activities that allowed the English learning process on each student and helped them to acquire a new language. Field notes, diaries, video recordings and teacher insights were used as data collection instruments. Findings suggest that working with PEIS program can be useful for kindergarten grade, but always thinking about Colombian context. Therefore, through PEIS program and the use of Neurolinguistic teachers can consider when adapting their classes, also teachers can have an idea about how students can learn using different methods and strategies that PEIS program brings.
