SONGS IN THE ENGLISH CLASS

It is always a good resource to use music in class as it is motivating for students and they can have access to a natural learning environment as that of an original song. In my classes I always allowed them to bring their favourite songs to class and to work on the lyrics, meaning and so on. They can work both in primary and in secondary schools but the learning relevance could be higher in secondary courses. I really loved teaching English through songs and my students did too.

For this post I have selected a song which I did not like at the beginning for being a little repetitive but after a few times listening to it I realised that it brings an educative content underneath. 'Impossible' by James Arthur. Nobody has sung the word "effortlessly" as he does. Enjoy it and use it in class....

LANGUAGE AS A MEANS OF EXPRESSION


Language can be defined as verbal, physical, biologically innate, and a basic form of communication. 

Culture is the characteristics of a particular group of people, defined by everything from language, religion, cuisine, social habits, music and arts. 

Thus culture finds its expression in language; so, learning a new language without familiarity with its culture remains incomplete.

An important question arises here, is it necessary to learn about the culture of the target language to acquire English as a foreign or second language?
