2.2. Using songs as an authentic material in the EFL/ESL Classroom
21
Songs contain authentic language and are a goldmine for language teaching
points like grammar, vocabulary and a nice and joyful activity for fostering listening
skills. They can also provide invaluable information about cultural aspects of the
target language.
Some key reasons songs can work exceedingly well in the foreign language
classroom include the following:
1. Songs contain authentic, natural language. This gives students a break from
the contrived, stilted language found in many textbooks. Caution should be paid,
however, when choosing the appropriate songs as some of them may contain crude
or objectionable language.
