Learning English through music and songs is Fun
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.
Besides, the music also helps us to
increase the vocabulary we have. Because it is through a song we'll memorize
the lyrics by listening constantly and try to find the meaning of the lyrics. And
the conclusion is music can help us to reproduce vocebulary, sentence, term, we
can know that certainly adds to our insight.
