Main Article Content
The goal of this research was to describe the metalinguistic abilities in a group of students between five- and seven-years-old, and to test strategies made to obtain evidence about metalinguistic abilities in children below seven-years-old age. 18 students, 9 girls and 9 boys, from an educative institution in Bogotá, took part in this study. The tasks included two strategies: the first one was a conversational strategy, oriented by a script previously established to obtain metalinguistic comments in children; the second one was a structured protocol with closed questions. Verbal behaviors of the children were videotaped, transcribed and registered in data collection matrixes. Results showed that metalinguistic abilities grow up gradually in their complexity from 5 to 7 yearold children: they develop from some automatic judgments on language that they cannot explain in their answers, through basic language awareness, until to get true reflections on language where they explain linguistic rules in a simple form. The comparison among both strategies (communicative interaction and structured tasks) showed that the conversational strategy wasmore effective to gather metalinguistic abilities data gathering in 5-year-old children, whereas the structured tests strategy showed better data gathering in children older than 6-years-old.
Nevertheless, both strategies are matched and allowed us to corroborate information about the metalinguistic abilities in some specific abilities
