Based on our experience, as novice teachers, we faced some problems when we tried to practice our students’ listening skill. In the first month that we started working with children, we noticed that the listening skill was challenging for them. Looking for a solution to that problem, we tried to introduce music in order to catch children’s attention. One of our friends, a novice teacher too, recommended us music as an alternative to have a more manageable classroom. This was the main reason why we became interested in this as a research topic. We hope that this research project contributes to some insights on the use of music as an alternative to teach English to young learners. This may be done within the mandatory training courses Licenciatura en la Enseñanza del Inglés (LEI) students take and the students’ teaching practicum."pdfengHUMANIDADES Y CIENCIAS DE LA CONDUVTAInglés--Estudio y enseñanza--Hablantes extranjerosMétodos de estudioNeurolingüísticaMusicoterapiaNovice teachers’ perceptions toward the use of songs as an aid to teach English to young learnersTesis de licenciaturaInnovaciones educativasopenAccess
