    Using songs to enhance english as foreign language in the classroom with children of sixth level of basic education at "Juan Girón Sánchez" elementary school of San Fernado
    (2013) Calle Urgilez, Lorena Yadira; Giñin Lupercio, Mónica Alexandra; Rodas Pacheco, Fabián
    The aim of using songs in the classroom is to enhance English as a foreign language. This project was applied at Juan Girón Sanchez Elementary School in San Fernando. Twenty seven students participated in the investigation, boys and girls. This project has been chosen because the children were not learning according to the curriculum, and they could not remember the new English words. Using songs was a good strategy to help teachers when they were teaching children. Moreover, through this investigation, students were motivated to learn new vocabulary, grammar points, and pronunciation in their classroom. In order to obtain an excellent result and carry out this project, it was necessary to apply the three methods: bibliographic, quantitative, and qualitative. The students learned English with less difficulty even if the topic or the structure was challenging. A comparison was made between a traditional and an active class to observe and validate this project. In this manner, the students in the classroom appreciate more an active class than a traditional. Finally, the use of songs in the class improved English because children could reinforce, remember, and learn faster. It is recommendable to play songs at the end of a class because children are at their highest potential, and they would leave the classroom highly motivated to continue learning English
