Abstract

The incorporation of games, songs, music, and stories into foreign language education for children and adolescents has proven to be an efficacious approach for enhancing learning and engagement. These creative methods align with the natural inclinations of younger learners, which promotes active participation and retention. By incorporating language learning into interactive and enjoyable contexts, educators can create an immersive experience that fosters linguistic skills and cultural appreciation. Games promote cognitive development and teamwork, while songs and music reinforce vocabulary and pronunciation. On the contrary, stories provide context and emotional resonance. This abstract investigates the impact of these elements on language acquisition, emphasizing their role in cultivating a positive learning environment.
