The listening skill is considered as the most important outcome of early language teaching and songs are regarded as one of the best ways for practicing and developing the listening skills of especially young learners. Therefore, any syllabus designed for teaching foreign languages to young learners specifically focuses on the development of the listening skill and contains songs as effective listening materials. The purpose of this study is therefore twofold: first a theoretical discussion will be presented about listening skills and young learners, second an example lesson guideline will be provided for “listen and show” songs for teaching English to young learners at the beginning level, by means of which teachers around the world can apply to songs of their own choosing.
