Abstract

Resumen

Songs play an important role in the development of young children when learning a second language; for that reason, this investigation is focused on the use of songs for teaching children in EFL classes in order to develop children listening skills. It is considered as the most important skill to be developed in the early language teaching, and songs are regarded as one of the best techniques for practicing and improving the listening ability, especially with young learners. Therefore, this work is oriented to pay attention to the listening skill in general, and how songs can become an effective listening material for the English classroom. The main purpose of this theoretical study is to present a practical structure by reviewing the relevant information about the importance of the listening skill for young foreign learners and to discuss the effect that listening has in the moment to improve vocabulary, pronunciation, and even grammar patterns in elementary school students. In addition, this investigation discussed the teaching procedures of songs as listening activities. Finally, I have included a booklet in which there are some songs that could be taught in the classroom.
