Findings

After read, reread and understand the collected data following the illustration from Auerbach, C. F. & Silverstein L. B. (2003) procedure, it is essential to keep in mind that analysis involves researchers and participants in making sense of the data by identifying broad trends, characteristics or features across an event or a series of events (Burns, 1999). In this collaborative research project “The creation of thematic modules using the blended learning environment, it is vital to determine the “Categories”. In Strauss & Corbin (1997) words, categories are formed by grouping similar incidents, events or other instances of phenomena under the same label. The chosen categories met the main concepts that determine the data analysis process of this project in order to answer the research question: What will be the effects of the creation of thematic modules in a moodle platform to work on early vocabulary acquisition of 4-5 years old? The answer to that question allowed us to identify four main categories:

Category 1: Motivation towards the use of technology

Category 2: Motivation towards English

Category 3: English vocabulary acquisition

Category 4: Parents’ involvement
