Sumario:The purpose of the following research is directed in two pathways: first, to determine in which didactic aspects the Lyric Visualization of Songs (LVS) influences the learning of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) and second, to propose it as a pedagogical strategy to be included in the EFL classroom. To achieve these purposes, 76 students from the Language Institute of Universidad Nacional de Loja in Ecuador were observed and exposed to the technique during an academic semester and surveyed at the end of the application process. 38 students were part of the control group and 38 were exposed to its direct development as part of the experimental group. Participants' perception data on the effects that music produces on their learning were collected through a survey and a dichotomous observation sheet to analyze the correlation of the variables for a reduced sample as a function of motivation. The study reveals that, in the face of musical exposure and perceptual input, student motivation improves considerably and fear of mispronunciation greatly decreases. Finally, it was observed that the mnemonic capacities of those exposed improve considerably and the causal incidence between variables is confirmed.
