Hello! I am Marolin

Welcome to Listen and Learn. In this blog, we will explore an innovative research proposal that seeks to transform the way in which primary school students develop their listening skills in an increasingly connected and technological world.

Join me on this journey as we explore creative strategies, digital tools, and pedagogical approaches that can revolutionize the way students interact with the English language. From using mobile apps to integrating multimedia resources, we'll discover how we can make the most of technology to cultivate strong listening skills from an early age.

Results

It was observed that activities that integrated music and technology with visual resources had a significant impact on vocabulary learning in primary school students. The combination of visual and auditory stimuli facilitated vocabulary retention and comprehension compared to traditional teaching methods. The academic results indicate that music plays an important role in the development of English communicative skills in children. It was observed that students exposed to musical activities showed greater fluency and precision in their pronunciation, although not so much in the intonation of the language. The adaptation of subject topics and activities with songs in English had a positive effect on the groups' listening and written production. Students demonstrated improvement in written expression as well as in understanding grammatical structure and application of learned vocabulary in written contexts.
