Learners and
more effective in language acquisition. Despite widespread
adoption in EFL classes, songs have rarely been used with
specific reference to the acquisition of grammar. Based on
the presenters’ experience of using songs in EFL classes,
this workshop showed how to teach both word and sentence
grammar in a number of ways. Techniques demonstrated
included blank filling, multiple choice, matching, dialogue,
and sentence making.

Katherine Giraldo's curator insight, February 19, 2020 10:00 AM
Lerning English with a song can be very useful and easy since you can practice your listening, speaking and pronunciation  at the same time also you can choose songs that like you to make the experience more funnny. When you learn a new language, there are lots of unusual sounds that your mouth is not used to making. Singing helps our mouths to form the right shapes and make these sounds loudly and clearly. Singing also helps us learn how stronger and weaker sounds are pronounced differently in English.
Luisa Fernanda Tapasco's curator insight, March 17, 2020 5:02 PM
In the search for different strategies for improving English skills, and in this case listening, it has been found that listening to songs can be of great benefit in expanding vocabulary, and that in a certain way it is an exposure to the language for develop understanding of those who speak it. In the development of autonomy, each apprentice must be aware of the best strategy for each one.
