Songs to encourage English speaking in students

This study aims to explore that approach and demonstrate how the use of songs in English influences students' motivation while learning English as a second or foreign language. A sample of thirty students from the Tayuza Educational Unit located in the province of Morona Santiago, Ecuador, was used. The results of the application of a ten-question questionnaire show that students prefer the use of songs in English to participate and get actively involved in classroom activities. The importance of using tools other than traditional ones to motivate and encourage students to learn English as a second or foreign language is confirmed.
