Resumen
[ES] Mi tesis de maestría consiste en el diseño de una unidad didáctica elaborada con las tareas basadas en canciones para los estudiantes de primer y segundo ciclos de una escuela primaria en Bogotá (Colombia). Las actividades / tareas propuestas tienen por objeto ayudar a los profesores y estudiantes de los niveles antes mencionados para centrarse en una forma alternativa de aprendizaje de una lengua extranjera. Me esfuerzo para hacer de este enfoque metodológico factible mediante la integración de la mejora de ambos hemisferios del cerebro del estudiante. En mi opinión esto es posible mediante el aumento de poder del cerebro del estudiante a través de la utilización de tareas basadas en canciones. Espero ser capaz de él / ella proporcionará una capacidad más eficaz para el aprendizaje de Inglés como lengua extranjera con menos esfuerzo que cualquier otra metodología más convencional.
