Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Lateral entry military children face significant challenges in adapting to new school environments due to frequent relocations, which disrupt their educational continuity. The study explores the innovative use of songs as a pedagogical tool to enhance the education of lateral entry military children. By integrating music into the curriculum, the approach aims to facilitate smoother transitions, promote language acquisition and improve retention of academic content. Songs, with their rhythmic and repetitive nature, serve as effective mnemonic devices, aiding memory and engagement. This modern method not only supports academic achievement but also fosters good memory power, love for learning and emotional well-being, providing a familiar and enjoyable learning experience for military children in diverse educational settings. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of using songs as a modern educational approach to facilitate the learning and adaptation of lateral entry military children in new school environments.
