Learning English through music ands

Learning English through music and
songs can be very enjoyable. You can
mix pleasure with learning when you
listen to a song and exploit the song as
a means to your English progress. Some
underlying reason can be drawn to
support the idea why we use songs in
language learning.
Firstly, “the song stuck in my head”
Phenomenon (the echoing in our minds
of the last song we heard after
leaving a restaurant, shopping malls,
etc) can be both enjoyable and
sometimes unnerving. This phenomenon
also seems to reinforce the idea that
songs work on our short-and-long
term memory.
Secondly, songs in general also use
simple conversational language, with a
lot of repetition, which is just what
many learners look for sample text.
The fact that they are effective
makes them many times more
motivating than other text. Although
usually simple, some songs can be quite
complex syntactically, lexically and
poetically, and can be analyzed in the
same way as any other literary sample.
Furthermore, song can be
appropriated by listener for their own
purpose. Most pop songs and probably
many other types don’t have precise
people, place or time reference.
In addition, songs are relaxing. They
provide variety and fun, and
encourage harmony within oneself and
within one group. Little wonder they
are important tools in sustaining
culture, religion, patriotism and yeas,
even revolution.
Last but not least, there are many
learning activities we can do with
songs such as studying grammar,
practicing selective listening
comprehension, translating songs,
learning vocabulary, spelling and
culture.
From the elaboration above, it can be
concluded that learning through music
and songs, learning English can be
enjoyable and fun.
