Teaching through songs
 
Hi dear teachers,
Our "teacher-adviser" has tasked me with giving a presentation on the importance of songs in English teaching.However, I still know so little about this technique.Would you please tell me about it in full detail?I haven �t had the chance to learn anything about it.
Thanks a lot.

The importance is great, the help is enormous, the effort is tremendous - this is how I would put it. You might want to have a look at this http://www.eslprintables.com/printable.asp?id=352802#thetop. Usually all the students engage into this activity eagerly. This is a great way to make everybody work hard at listening.

I use a fantastic book called �Music and Song � by Tim Murphy - it has a little theory and a lot of great activities!
