Abstract
The development of speaking skills in primary English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms presents both a pressing pedagogical challenge and a fertile area for methodological innovation. This article examines the theoretical and empirical foundations of using songs and poems as systematic instruments for improving the oral speech capacities of primary school learners aged six to eleven.
