dc.description.abstractThe present study had the aim to explain the use of pop music as input for enhancing speaking skills with fifth graders. Moreover, it intended to generate an activities guide based on pop music to develop oral communication skills such as vocabulary, grammar, and selfconfidence. The research was developed at Unidad Educativa Particular La Asunción, located in Cuenca, Ecuador. The beneficiaries of the investigation were the fifth-grade students of the institution, however, after a judgmental sampling process, the sample selected were 32 students enrolled in fifth-grade class E. To collect the data, a mixed-method approach was carried out, using two surveys (one for the students and one for the teachers), a pedagogical test (as pretest and posttest), and an observation diary to gather information about the behavior of the students while facing pop music-based activities. The activities were developed during 9 weeks in the third trimester of the school year 2023-2024 and gathered in the pop music-based activities guide proposed, taking into consideration the English project the institution is developing, the Ministry of Education of Ecuador’s standards and the Common European Framework of reference indicators for A1 level. As results, the comparison between the pre and post-test shown a general improvement in the students’ proficiency level, the comments on the observation diary allowed to understand how the dynamic of the class changed making it more engaging and kinder for students to develop self-confidence, and the surveys demonstrated the interest of teachers and students to use pop music to make English classes more motivational and enjoyable.
