La música como herramienta para el aprendizaje de vocabulario de los alumnos de ELE : Un estudio comparativo sobre el aprendizaje de vocabulario en cuatro escuelas del sur de Suecia

Sammanfattning: New studies in the field of education has shown that music can be used as an important tool in teaching of language. As future Spanish teachers of the Swedish schools, we consider that music can help students to build up/develop their knowledge when it comes to their vocabulary. For that reason, we have decided to conduct a study in four schools in the south part of Sweden with the purpose of answering at two main questions: - can Spanish music help students to improve their Spanish vocabulary - how can music effect memorise the Spanish vocabulary In order to find answer for our first question, we use a quantitative method which imply the use of vocabulary tests for 127 students, which were divided in two groups (with and without music). The result of this research demonstrates that the use of music in Spanish classes doesn’t helps so much on the other hand, the music permits that students participation becomes motivated toward learning Spanish. Music makes learning Spanish more fun which motivates the learning of the language even more. For answering our second question we used a survey which implied personal questions to 75 students from the first group with music. The result showed that students can memorise further Spanish words by adding the subtitles to the song that are in Spanish.
