The use of music in the english classroom

Abstract:

This project is about The Use of Music in the English Classroom. It explores the advantages of employing music in all classrooms. The investigation was carried out at Octavio Cordero Palacios High School, on a group of 21 students ranging from 15 to 17 years old. The result shows that using songs proved to be an effective way of teaching vocabulary, grammar and improving pronunciation to teenagers. Music is an important tool in the English learning process. It provides essential benefits in the classroom, which are related to the fact that music makes the lesson more interesting and motivating because it adds variety to the classes. Also, it gives English teachers the opening to use authentic materials in the classroom, making for more effective and enjoyable learning. Music activities are an excellent means to teach English. Students feel motivated to participate in the lessons. Through different activities, the students can develop their four skills (listening, speaking, writing, and reading). For this reason, teachers must use correct materials according to the topic that they are going to teach in the class.
