Learning English




Learning English through music and songs xan 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 literacy sanple. 

Futhermore, song can be aporopriated by listener ti 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 snd fun, and encourage harmony within oneself snd within one group. Little wonder they are important tools in sustaining culture, religion, patriotism and 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 conclude that learning through music snd songs, learning English can be enjoyable and fun.
