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.
