dc.description.abstract	Esta investigación-acción exploró cómo la integración de la música en un enfoque por tareas motiva y fortalece la expresión oral en un curso de inglés del Ciclo 4 en el Liceo Femenino Mercedes Nariño. Un grupo mixto de estudiantes (15 a 70 años) participó en 12 sesiones semanales con actividades de pre-, durante y pos-escucha basadas en canciones. El análisis de notas de campo, cuestionarios y grabaciones evidenció que la música incrementó la motivación, mejoró pronunciación, fluidez y confianza, y favoreció la colaboración, generando un ambiente positivo y participativo.	spa
dc.description.abstractenglish	This action research examined how integrating music into a task-based framework motivates and enhances speaking skills in an EFL Cycle-4 class at Liceo Femenino Mercedes Nariño. A mixed-age group (15–70 years old) attended 12 weekly sessions where songs were used in pre-, while- and post-listening tasks. Data from field notes, questionnaires, and recordings showed that music increased motivation, improved pronunciation, fluency, and confidence, and fostered collaboration. Overall, music created a positive environment that supported oral communication and student engagement.	eng
