Pilot Research of Music and Language Memory of Pupils in Primary Education

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with selected results of a pilot research focusing on examining of pupils´ learning of foreign languages and music who attend 1st up to 5th year of primary school and it was implemented at the Faculty of Education University of Hradec Králové in the Czech Republic. The aim of our pilot research was to analyse the researched issues on theoretical and research basis, as well as to outline the possibilities of examining musical and linguistic perception of pupils in primary education. A non-standardized questionnaire was used for the purpose of the pilot study, which ascertained the respondents´ relationship to music and foreign languages. A listening test consisted of selected research sequences was used as another research method. Respondents recorded the results of listening tests on record sheets to determine the level of language memory. A semantic differential had been chosen for data processing, a method measuring the intensity of respondents´ psychological attitudes to the perception of given foreign languages. The research pointed to the connection between music and language. By working on this issue, we wanted to provide a deeper insight into the process of learning foreign languages and encourage further similar research in this scientific field.
