- Abstract
English children’s songs have been commonly used as pedagogical tools to teach English to young learners. Despite its popularity, few studies focus on its limitation. This study aimed to explore preand in-service teachers’ perceptions on the usage of English Children’s songs in teaching English to young learners. This study applied a qualitative descriptive method involving two pre-service teachers, two in-service teachers, and four students. Data were collected through pre-and in-service teachers’ interviews, students’ interviews, and classroom observation. The findings showed that English children’s songs offer numerous benefits for young learners in learning English. However, there were technical limitations such as lack of internet connection and school facilities and non-technical limitations such as selecting the right song for the students and providing various songs to prevent students’ boredom. To overcome those limitations, it is suggested that the school facilitate teachers with proper technology such as a projector and speaker to improve the students’ teaching and learning activities. The teachers could prepare the songs using rubrics based on learning needs and lesson plans.
