English songs to enhance the pronunciation of oral expression in an elementary school

Abstract

This research explored the usage of English songs as a tool to enhance pronunciation and oral expression in elementary school students. By analyzing educator perspectives and supporting literature, the study highlighted the alignment of English songs within pedagogical frameworks, highlighting success in teaching pronunciation, fluency, and intonation. The repetition and interactive nature of English songs help language retention and build confidence, making them an engaging method for overcoming pronunciation challenges. Findings indicated that using songs in classrooms motivates students, and creates a relaxed environment for spontaneous language practice. This study confirmed that English songs are a valuable resource in fostering oral proficiency and suggests practical approaches for integrating them into teaching methodologies.
