Resumen

This study examines the effectiveness of audiovisual media, including educational videos, songs, and interactive games, in enhancing English vocabulary acquisition in 4-year-old children. A qualitative, non-experimental, descriptive research approach was employed, using observation and audiovisual recordings to analyse children's interactions and responses. The findings indicate that audiovisual resources significantly improve vocabulary retention, word-image association, and listening comprehension. However, limitations were identified in material design and interactivity, suggesting the need for further optimization. These results support the integration of audiovisual media with pedagogical strategies to enhance early language learning in preschool education.
