English songs as a pedagogical resource to develop lisenting comprenhension In elementary school students.

Abstract

The main objective of this essay is to determine the influence of using songs in the English language teaching process for 3rd and 4th-grade students at a public school in the city of Chone. This article presents a literature review of recent research analyzing the impact of using songs as a pedagogical strategy within academic planning. The research was conducted using a methodology executed through a mixed-methods approach, with a non-experimental design. To carry out this research, a sample of third- and fourth-grade students was selected, comprising a total of 40 students, to whom pre-tests and post-tests were administered. During the feedback on the tests, observation checklists were used. The post-test was applied after using songs as a method to develop in students the skills and abilities required to acquire a second language, such as English. The results of this research showed that using songs to teach English is a highly effective strategy that motivates students to express themselves with greater confidence in another language, helping the teacher to introduce new content more assertively.
