Description:	Songs have become a good technique for English teachers to use in their classes because songs bring variety to the classroom and they also avoid that students get bored. In other words, students feel more motivated and interested in learning English language through songs in a more real context of communication. Students can also improve their pronunciation and vocabulary learning. In view of this, our project was based on teaching vocabulary to six year olds through songs. This project began with an analysis of theories, approaches, characteristics of learners and important characteristics of songs too. All this information was an important base for our project because it supported our idea that using songs was a good way to teach vocabulary to little kids. Then we started working with a group of eleven children who were attending second grade. According to these kids interests, needs, and abilities; we chose four songs corresponding to topics like: Farm Animals, Days of the Week, Numbers, and Colors. After the application of these songs in the English class we got important results which supported our idea that songs are a good technique to teach new words to six year olds. It is our wish to share our experience with other English teachers and we know that our project will be an important and useful contribution to encourage teachers towards awareness that songs are a good tool to use in the English class because children will become more interested in learning this language in a more fun and pleasant way.
