Abstract :The aim of this study is to examine the contribution of the rhythmic structure in children\`s songs to the correct pronunciation of the words in the spoken language in training qualified teachers. In this study, which was designed for this purpose, document analysis and qualitative research methods and descriptive expression were used. In this context, the first level teacher\`s guide book prepared by the Ministry of National Education was examined; Structural analysis was made by selecting samples from children\`s songs in the structure of Turkish Folk Music. It is evident that the emphasis structures observed in the analysis of children\`s songs in the folk songs structure of the child\`s own culture will contribute to high quality language teaching based on mother tongue. As a result, this study, conducted with qualitative research and descriptive narrative method, reveals that the emphasis structures of Turkish Folk Songs in the first-level teacher\`s guide book will contribute to the speaking skills of children in order to train qualified teachers. In teacher education, it was predicted that the quality of education would be increased by considering language teaching primarily in the context of spoken language, and transforming these skills into correct acquisitions through the teaching of folk songs.
