ABSTRACT: The Englishteaching provides the learner with new opportunities for knowledge, work, communicationandmore. This must be as conscious as possible, with didactic and pedagogical, cognitiveandmetacognitive strategies, aimed at seeking better results. The aim is to discuss English language teaching with playfulness, in light ofmaintheories of Piaget, Vygotsky, WallonandAusubel, making it as meaningful as possible. Asresultsand discussion, it emphasizes that the teaching of so-called foreign languages, such as English, is conscious and needs didactic and pedagogical strategies that involve the learner in hisinits multiple contexts, making his programmatic content interesting and motivating for those who learn it. For Piaget, this learning must be according to the student’s age group, their interactionsandadaptations; Vygotsky argues the need for social interaction; Wallon involves the affective and motivating question and Ausubel defends the valorization of the student’s previous knowledge. Thus, it is stated thatEnglishteaching should be stimulated as soon as possible, in the youngest age groups, so it can be assimilated and learned in a playful, social, interactiveandmeaningful way.
