Evaluating the quality of our Study

Taking into account the criteria for Grounded Theory Studies we can say:

Credibility

This collaborative action research was carried out to expose and involve very young learners to the second language acquisition in terms of enriching vocabulary through a learning strategy named blended learning. It involves not only the use of different technology tools such as computers and the white board but also provide a variety of activities that foster the acquisition of new English vocabulary. We think that the collected data display in its totality the effects of the creation of a blended course with thematic modules in a moodle platform to work on early vocabulary acquisition in very young learners. It is evidenced in every category supported by appropriate excerpts.
Originality

Since blended learning is a pedagogical strategy that is not frequently used with very young learners, we can say that it is something new and innovative in the educational environments with preschoolers. And it is important to mentioned that this kind of activities did not exist at school where we apply the study.

Resonance


Base on the triangulation, we found 4 categories with appropriate evidence and support from the collected data. Every category is an effect of the creation of a blended course with thematic modules in a moodle platform to work on early vocabulary acquisition in very young learners.

Usefulness


The process of the data analysis shows that the creation of a blended course for very young learners offers useful and enjoyable activities such as video-songs, video-stories, games, and worksheets that promote and favor the acquisition of English vocabulary. Besides, it inspires creativity and engages children in applying skills and content in meaningful ways as well as brings advantage to improve our teaching practice.
