Learning
english through music and song can be very enjoyable. You can mix pleasure with
learning when you listen to a song and exploit the song as a mean to your
english progress. Some underlying reason the idea why we use songs in language
learning.
Firtly,
“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 song work on our short-and-long term memory.
Secondly,
song 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.
Altough usually simple, some song 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 song such as
studying grammar, practicing selective listening comprehesion, 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.
