Abstract
This research article aimed to strengthen the communication skills in English of transitional children, through the implementation of a didactic sequence based on the Visible Thinking approach. The methodological perspective was qualitative with an action research approach in which a group of 15 students of the transition level (between 5 and 6 years) from a private school in the city of Bucaramanga (Colombia) was taken as a sample. The results showed that the teaching of English using Thinking Routines contributed positively to the understanding of the language from its communicative function, taking precedence over purely grammatical learning; it was found that the documentation that emerged from the Thinking Routines supported the language acquisition process, especially in relation to writing and reading.
