dc.description	This research aimed to determine the incidence of children’s songs to improve the lexical skills of 2nd-year elementary students from Unidad Educativa “Nicanor Larrea León” from Riobamba. It was a quasi-experimental research design involving 64 children divided into two groups: the control group and the experimental one. Data collection instruments were the Pre-A1 Starters Speaking test as the pre-test and the post-test; and a survey to gather information from the teachers. Results revealed that teachers were developing traditional methodologies with children into the classroom. They were writing on the board, using the module provided by the Ministry of Education which was a little difficult for them and copybooks for writing some words or making pictures, using memorization and repetition drills to develop lexical skills with second graders. In fact, children were not motivated, they were bored on english classes, some of them had not predisposition in learning the second language and their initial experience learning English was challenging. At the same time, children took the pre-test, which contained a rubric, to obtain numerical data. The results revealed that children from the two groups did not know the vocabulary, their pronunciation was not so good, and they couldn’t use of language to interact among them oy with the teacher. Then, the intervention was planned. In doing this, the researcher described the process of implementing music as a means of developing lexical skills. This process was included in class planning for the xii intervention process. A music guide to developing lexical skills in 2nd-year elementary school students was designed. Children’s songs were carefully chosen to motivate students to learn and be engaged in the classroom tasks taking into account their age, interest and level of knowledge. After the whole process, students took the post-test. Results showed that students from the experimental group improved their lexical skills significantly; students improved vocabulary and pronunciation, while the interaction had a great improvement and an important aspect is they felt motivated in English class. To conclude, there is a positive incidence of children’s songs improving students’ lexical skills because songs consisted in a special rhythm that stimulated the brain to catch the lyrics and of course word repetition in songs is very helpful for young learners to memorize vocabulary	es_ES
