Choosing a song I favor the use of rock songs in class, because in today s society rock music is everywhere. It is constantly played on the radio, on TV, in downtown stores, in restaurants, in supermarkets, and in night clubs. Such widespread exposure has made it a big part of our lives. Its impact on our lives cannot be denied. To quote Paul McCartney, rock music is the classical music of the twentieth century.
Students enjoy learning English through songs.
As they learn the lyrics to songs they have been listening to for years, they are often surprised to discover their meaning. This is how a good song can prompt discussion in class. What to look for. The teacher must choose carefully the song to be presented. The suitability of a song depends on how well it fulfills the purpose of teaching new material.
