| Description: | This study delved into the intriguing question of how songs might influence the progression of English grammar proficiency among some learners. Undertaken during the academic span of October 2022 to June 2023, the research focused on ninth-level students from “Centro Educativo Dr. José María Velasco Ibarra.” in Latacunga. These students immersed themselves in an experimental program that lasted 8 weeks in total, which was uniquely designed to let them practice and hone their grammar skills through the integration of English songs. To make the program more effective, a song selection was meticulously done, keeping in mind the age and proficiency level of the participants. To measure the effectiveness of this innovative approach, the Ket writing component of the Cambridge English exam was used as a yardstick. By administering this test both at the start and the culmination of the 8-week experiment, the study aimed to capture any significant shifts in the students' grammar abilities. Ensuring a robust and comprehensive data analysis was pivotal. To this end, the research incorporated a validated rubric, leveraged the capabilities of the SPSS statistical software, and employed the T-Student test. The findings were not only promising but also insightful.iv Songs, as it turned out, played a significant role in bolstering the students' grasp of English grammar. This was evident in the notable improvements seen in areas like language use, with special emphasis on grammar components such as word order, correct punctuation, discerning parts of speech, vocabulary and the apt use of various tenses. The wellthought-out structure, enriched resources, and innovative methodologies of the program undeniably played a part in this positive outcome. In sum, the research shed light on the potential of English songs as an effective learning tool, especially in the realm of grammar education, presenting a compelling case for their inclusion in pedagogical strategies |
