The reasons for this are as follows. Songs which belong to a genre including both lyrics and music can be added to this list. They are marked by the richness of content, poetical metaphors, and symbols, which emotionally reflect the world we live in. In non-English surroundings the main problem teachers of English encounter is how to stimulate students to speak English in class. Songs may serve as a starting point for conversation.
Students can discuss a single song, the repertoire of a group as well as different musical trends.
Songs can motivate a positive emotional approach to language learning. This gives students the opportunity to speak on the topic. Songs can introduce students to the music and culture of particular interest to them in the target language community. While listening to a song, students begin to recognize the words and notions easily understood by native speakers but which may present difficulty for foreigners. Songs can effectively contribute to the esthetic development of prospective teachers.
