V magistrskem delu je obravnavan pristop poučevanja angleščine z dodanimi glasbenimi dejavnostmi v 1. razredu osnovne šole. Predstavljen je pomen glasbe pri pouku in njen vpliv na učenje tujega jezika in bolj specifično besedišča. Prav tako je predstavljena povezava med glasbo in jezikom na ravni biološkega in antropološkega razvoja. V nadaljevanju sledijo tudi najpogostejši modeli in pristopi k poučevanju angleškega jezika v zgodnjem obdobju, možnosti za medpredmetno povezovanje tujega jezika in glasbe ter opis uvajanja poučevanja tujih jezikov na sistemski in državni ravni preko pregleda učnih načrtov in ostalih dokumentov. Vpeljava glasbenih dejavnosti (pesmi in ritmične izreke) v poučevanje angleščine v 1. razredu osnovne šole je potekala v aprilu in maju 2018. V raziskavi so sodelovali 104 učenci, od tega 52 v kontrolni, kjer je pouk potekal klasično in 52 v eksperimentalni skupini, kjer so bile dodane še glasbene dejavnosti. Namen eksperimenta je bil ugotoviti ali imajo učenci, ki so vključeni v prvo leto učenja angleščine v šoli, že predznanje tujega jezika (bolj podrobno besedišča) in kakšen napredek naredijo v 4 tednih poučevanja. Poleg tega nas je zanimalo, kako glasba vpliva na takojšnji priklic besedišča takoj po vpeljavi le-tega in kako glasba vpliva na zapozneli priklic besedišča, tj. po nekaj urah učenja ciljnega besedišča. Ob tem smo preverili še kako se spremeni zmožnost priklica ob 1 tedenskem premoru (za to smo izkoristili majske počitnice). Prav tako nas je zanimalo ali uporaba glasbe pri pouku vpliva na sposobnost uporabe besed ob koncu obravnave teme. Na koncu smo preverili še, kako všečen je pouk angleščine brez in z glasbo. Rezultati so pokazali, da večina učencev nima veliko predznanja, saj so v povprečju dosegali 33 % točk na testu predznanja. Preizkus takojšnjega priklica besed je pokazal, da glasba ne igra odločilne vloge pri sposobnosti priklica besed, takoj po vpeljavi novega besedišča. Namreč tako v kontrolni kot eksperimentalni skupini so učenci napredovali v podobnem tempu. V kasnejših testih pa so se začele kazati statistično pomembne razlike, saj so tako oba testa zapoznelega priklica in uporabe besedišča pokazala občutnejšo razliko med napredki obeh skupin v prid eksperimentalne. S tem smo dokazali, da ima glasba pozitivne učinke na pomnenje in pasivno ter aktivno znanje jezika. Glasba prav tako vpliva na učence, ki imajo težave s sodelovanjem in izpostavljenostjo pred množicami, saj lahko glasbene dejavnosti oblikujemo tako, da učenci delujejo v skupinah in se tako čutijo manj izpostavljene in bolj varne. Boljšo motiviranost in boljše počutje ob vpeljavi glasbe v učni proces so potrdili tudi učenci sami, saj so v 90 % odgovorili pritrdilno na vprašanje ali jim je bolj všeč pouk z glasbenimi dejavnostmi kot tisti brez njih. Our thesis discusses the approach of teaching English through music in the first grade of primary school. We present the role of music in learning and its effect on foreign language learning, more specifically vocabulary learning. Furthermore, we establish the anthropological and biological link between music and language development. In the following chapters, we also present the established models and approaches to teaching English as a foreign language, the possible cross-curricular integration of Music and English, and introduction of foreign language teaching in early childhood on the systemic level in Slovenia. The introduction of musical activities into teaching in the first grade of primary school was conducted in April and May 2018. The study involved 104 pupils, of whom 52 were assigned to experimental group (where we introduced musical activities) and 52 assigned to the control group. The purpose of the experiment was to determine whether all the participant pupils, who had no prior school learning experience, had any prior relevant knowledge of foreign language vocabulary (measured through testing of recall and active use). Another question of the study was whether there is any difference in progress in vocabulary learning between pupils, who were subjected to English learning through musical activities and those that were not. The progress in vocabulary recall and active use was measured through 4 stages (the prior knowledge, knowledge after 1 lesson – immediate recall, knowledge after 1 week and knowledge after 4 weeks – delayed recalls). We also checked how the ability to recall and actively use the vocabulary changes after one week of break from structured learning (May holidays). At the end of the experiment, we also checked how popular the lessons with music are, and whether or not pupils like them better than the lessons without music. The results showed that the majority of the pupils does not have prior relevant knowledge of foreign language, as they achieved 33 % of all points in the prior knowledge test. The immediate recall test showed no statistically relevant differences, so we can conclude that music is not the only positive factor in achieving immediate recall of foreign language vocabulary. The later tests all showed statistically relevant differences in the delayed vocabulary recall and active use. Those results show that use of music has positive influence on long-term vocabulary recall and passive and active use. Music also positively affects pupils, who struggle with standing out and public presenting, as it affects the body in ways that are calming and provide feelings of security and group belonging, since we can form music activities in ways that pupils work in groups. Our results also show it lifts levels of engagement and motivation in pupils as 90 % of them claimed that they rather learn English through and accompanied by musical activities.
