La influencia de la música en la adquisición de la lengua materna

(vocabulario) en niños de 4 a 6 años

taught will be design according to the results and make the necessary changes to it
to work accurately or at least in the best possible way. And finally, it is necessary to
implement the didactic tools, techniques and mnemotechnics.

was going to be needed on the project as the urgencies of the institution were
precisely those, to apply the solutions they found on the experiments they did to
know how much better the students learned English by relating it with music,
sounds, words and movements (as in dancing). Therefore, the results will be
criticized starting from the data collecting, the interviews, the observation, the
experience, and recordings.

I personally think this text will be very helpful for my own research as it has a great
amount of bibliography that might be helpful to guide my research towards the way

information that it provides about previous research and itself regarding the
influence that music has when the time of learning or acquiring a language comes
and more precisely how it can be helpful for children to develop their capacity to

reproduce different sounds connecting them with their feelings, because the music
is closely related with emotions and feelings even when languages didn’t exist.
