Poster Session The Development of English Grammar Understanding Through Songwriting by Students, with AI-generated Music, in Grade 6 at La-or Utis Demonstration School, Lampang more

English grammar learning is challenging for elementary students, as rote memorization often leads to disengagement. This study investigates how integrating songwriting with AI-generated music can enhance English grammar understanding and engagement among Grade 6 students in a Thai primary school. The instructional design involves students writing original English song lyrics that emphasize key grammar structures (e.g., tenses, sentence patterns), then generating accompanying music using AI tools such as Soundraw or Suno. Students present their songs in class and reflect on the grammar used, reinforcing learning through context and repetition. An experimental research design will be used, comparing an experimental group (using the songwriting-AI process) with a control group receiving traditional grammar instruction. Research instruments include grammar-focused pre- and post-tests, student feedback questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews. It is expected that the experimental group will show greater grammar improvement and learning motivation due to the affective engagement of music, the cognitive depth of composition, and the personalized experience enabled by AI. The study offers a novel CALL-based approach that combines creativity, technology, and learner-generated content to support grammar learning in young learners.
