Songs as a didactic tool to enhance the students’ motivation on the foreign language learning

Abstract

The present mixed-methods study investigated the effect of some contemporaneous songs proposed by some seventh graders (and their EFL instructor) on the learners’ motivation, and what kind of motivation was developed on these learners to learn English as a foreign language (EFL) in their 2022 EFL school lessons at a public school in the municipality of Yumbo, Valle del Cauca, Colombia.
