CASTRO HUERTAS, Ivon Aleida y NAVARRO PARRA, Lina Jazmín. The Role of Songs in First-Graders' Oral Communication Development in English. profile [online]. 2014, vol.16, n.1, pp.11-28. ISSN 1657-0790. https://doi.org/10.15446/profile.v16n1.37178.
We report on an action research project aimed at developing oral communication in first-graders, using songs as a strategy for young learners to use and enjoy English. It was developed at a Colombian public school over three months. The teacher-researchers attempted to encourage students using simple and amusing songs to help them learn new vocabulary in English and develop oral skills from the very moment they began their literacy process. In this article, we attempt to share our findings obtained from data collected through direct observation, field notes, video recordings, and interviews that show the process followed by very young learners to acquire vocabulary by singing.
