Resumen
[ES] El juego es un elemento natural que forma parte de la vida diaria de los jóvenes estudiantes. Por lo tanto, introducir juegos como parte del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje puede ser beneficioso, así como un elemento motivador para los niños/as. De forma más específica, el presente TFM fomenta el uso de juegos en la clase de inglés con el objetivo de conseguir un proceso de aprendizaje más realista y, al mismo tiempo, incrementar la motivación del alumnado. Teóricamente, se proporciona un marco conceptual incluyendo diferentes definiciones y taxonomías del juego atendiendo diferentes autores relevantes. Además, el presente TFM se centra en remarcar por qué es importante usar juegos en la
enseñanza del inglés como lengua extranjera y cómo podemos usarlos. De forma práctica, se desarrolla una propuesta didáctica basada en el uso de juegos en la clase de inglés teniendo en cuenta la actual legislación vigente. El objetivo principal es facilitar el desarrollo de la competencia comunicativa en alumnos de 5o curso de Educación Primaria a través de una unidad didáctica que contiene seis sesiones.
