Abstract

Music is the most meaningful resource that in-service teachers and pre-service teachers use to enhance listening comprehension in Colombia. This paper examines the impact of music on the development of listening comprehension among secondary school students, more specifically, teens, to compare methodologies, identifying more effective and common music genres, and providing pre-service teachers with more training. The systematic literature review was done using PRISMA Protocol to select the articles and systematic reviews, and the NotebookLM (a data analysis tool) was used to analyse meaningful commonalities and important differences among the corpus of articles. The results show that music is a magnificent resource to the listening comprehension development and there is a specific genre which makes students feel less stressed. This paper is focused on developing tools for teachers and producing articles primarily based on using music and audiovisual resources for English language listening comprehension development in Colombian Secondary Schools, with Colombia having the most authors. In conclusion, this systematic literature review found that the influence of music is a good tool for listening comprehension development in secondary schools.
