abstract = {The present study analyses the learning of vocabulary through the use of songs in English. Its main objective is to show the benefits of using meaningful learning with children of second year of Primary Education to learn English vocabulary. A further objective is, to measure student’s motivation in learning English vocabulary through songs. The methodology proposed consists in using meaningful learning to teach students the vocabulary with songs. The research shows the differences between two classes: a control group, with a traditional methodology based in rote learning, and an intervention group that follows a meaningful learning of the vocabulary through the use of songs. After the intervention, results in both groups are analysed to conclude that songs can help to learn English vocabulary. Likewise, the use of songs can lead to better results in the teaching-learning process in contrast with other methods such as the oral exposition.},
