Action Research Proposal: REVITALIZING ENGLISH VOCABULARY USING PLAY AMONG GRADE FIVE PUPILS IN ROSARIO CENTRAL SCHOOL I. INTRODUCTION AND RATIONALE The millennials learners have been raised in a media-rich environment in which they are accustomed to rapid screen changes, colorful applications, HD (high definition) games. As a result, they have limited attention spans and they would rather stay in this stimulating environment than stay in classrooms. No one will like to listen to long lectures. With this scenario, teachers are expected to meet the pupils’ phase. If it is game that they enjoy then teachers are expected to create lessons that will revitalize his or her teachings to get the attention of the pupils for learning to happen. The advent of technology equipped the so called “21st Century teachers” with the knowhow on how to cater their new generation of learners. Llagas, et al (2016) stated in the book “Becoming a 21st Century Educational Leader”, that teaching of the millennials must, therefore be focused on the 21st century skills. One of the 21st century skills is on information, media and technology skills that includes information literacy, media literacy and ICT literacy that needs to be enjoyable. One of the skills in English expected of Grade Five Pupils is development of vocabulary. In structural linguistics its main concern is to analysis sentences, divide them into parts and state the function of the parts while in cognitivist theory teachers provide learners with activities that focuses on understanding or cognition. Activities such as using original materials that are known to learners in modeling or demonstrating something. Constructivist theories leans on activating their prior knowledge about something first before learning will take place. In teaching vocabulary one must go deeper that the structure of a word. Making then spell a word is the first step. Familiarizing with the sequence of the letter but the most important is giving the meaning of the word. Base on the results of the First quarter MPS English in Grade Five of Rosario Central School is one of the lowest and vocabulary development is one of the least learned competency. Based on the informal observation by the English teacher it is evident that lack of interest in words or vocabulary is the reason for it. Thus, this action research was created. This research also leans on the theories of Montessori approach in teaching. is a method of education that is based on self-directed activity, hands on learning, using their senses, mostly the sense of touch to feel the object and collaborative play. In Montessori classrooms children make creative choices, it is an actual doing the activity. The “Learning by doing” approach also by John Dewey will be utilized. II. LITERATURE REVIEW III.
