Using Songs in English Language Teaching
Abstract
Abstract. In ELT classes, for young learners or adult learners, songs can
be used to set a context of a lesson (grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation,
reading, listening, writing, and speaking) as they can be incorporated to
all language skills and components. Attempting to encourage English
teachers to occasionally use songs in their classes, this paper starts by
showing the reasons why it is beneficial to use songs in ELT classrooms,
continued by the guideline to select suitable songs for ELT and some
activities of using songs in ELT classroom. Two models of using songs in
ELT are also presented: one model for young learners’ class and one for
adults’ class.
