Importance to teach English through songs

Most children and teenager enjoy singing songs, and they can often be a welcome change from the routine of learning a foreign language. For the teacher, using songs in the classroom can also be a nice break from following a set curriculum. Songs can be taught to any number of students and even those teachers with the most limited resources can use them effectively. Songs can play an important role in the development of language in young children learning a second language.

Songs as Pedagogical Tools 

One advantage of using songs in the young learner classroom is their flexibility. Songs can be used for a number of purposes and there are many reasons why songs can be considered a valuable pedagogical tool. Songs can help young learners improve their listening skills and pronunciation, therefore potentially helping them to improve their speaking skills (Murphey, 1992). Songs can also be useful tools in the learning of vocabulary, sentence structures, and sentence patterns.

1. It is an authentic Material

Title: “Let it be”

Author: The Beatles

Instructions: Circle the verbs in the following song.

Lyric - “Let it Be”

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
speaking words of wisdom, let it be
and in my hour of darkness
she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when the broken-hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted
There is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Yeah, there will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be
Ah, let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music,
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah, let it be
Oh, there will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

VISUAL AIDS FOR TEACHERS

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3hT6Ocf39w

Why Are Visuals Important?

Once we understand why visuals are important, we should be excited

to take steps to use these tools when we are teaching.

There are two main reasons why it is important to actually show the

children what we are teaching.

1. Visuals clarify the material being taught.

2. Visuals make learning more permanent.

Visuals Clarify the Material Being Taught

In normal day-to-day living we learn:

3% through taste

3% through smell

6% through touch

13% through hearing

75% through seeing

Though we use all our senses to learn, it appears that seeing is the

sense where most of our learning comes from. So this tells us that

the most effective way to clarify and bring understanding to what is

being taught is to actually show the children.

Here is an example of how important it is to have a clarification of

lessons being taught. If a child hears a Bible study regarding the Ark

of the Covenant and with not much Bible knowledge, they may

assume the Ark is actually Noah’s Ark. The teacher may talk about

how the people carried this Ark while traveling in the wilderness. A

child could, in their mind, assume the teacher is talking about the

people carrying Noah’s big boat ark. A picture of the Ark of the

Covenant would clearly show that it is not Noah’s ark.

Here is a demonstration of how seeing something gives much more

clarity than just hearing about it.
