This study investigates the use of songs in teaching English to young learners by primary school teachers of English in Hanoi. More specifically, the researcher strives to 1) explore the belief of teachers of English at primary schools in Hanoi toward the use of songs in their classes 2) examine their practice of employing songs in reality to get the whole picture of how songs are currently applied to teaching English for children. The researcher conducted a survey with the participation of fifty four teachers from twenty five primary schools in fourteen districts of Hanoi. Questionnaire, semi-structured interviews and observation schemes were used as useful instruments for data collection. The questionnaire-based survey aims to scrutinize teachers’ beliefs about the importance, advantages and disadvantages of using songs as well as how they use songs.
