Learning English

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 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 and songs, learning Enflish
can be enjoyable and fun.
