Many years ago, the learning of English was widely criticized because teachers’ methods were not based on learning a language with the outcome to achieve communicative competence. The main objective focused mainly on acquiring grammar rules and completing written tasks in order to pass an exam. The aim of this paper is to show how students of Primary Education are able to learn English through songs and cartoons by using all the language skills, reading, writing, listening, speaking and talking. My intention is to show how songs and cartoons can have important benefits in the teaching-learning of a foreign language. More particularly, my objectives are the following: to teach English in an amusing way, to transmit the desire and motivation of learning English through current songs and cartoons and to design activities to be developed in the English classroom in the second cycle (third and fourth year) of Primary Education.
