The importance of using songs and poems in teaching English

Children grow up with songs and rhymes and develop their first language by them. songs and rhymes are the first experienced parts of communication in the childrens mother tongue. They listen and react to nursery rhymes and finger games spoken and often acted by their parents. So songs and rhymes give them an intimate feeling, a special connection with their human environment and influence the acquisition of their first language in a specific way.

The following points support foreign language acquisition:

they motivate to learn and to be active

music, rhythm and rhymes produce a positive live feeling

Not all teachers are able to read notes and to work out new songs. Therefore songs should be an important element in further vocational teacher training. The department of education should provide enough money for CDs and appropriate equipment for English lessons. A good help for quite unmusical teachers is to transfer new texts into well-known melodies.
