Since the early days of independence, our government has been focusing on the development of 
education including world languages so as to disseminate barriers and misunderstandings among the 
world. Hence, there have been huge responsibilities on the teachers’ shoulder of foreign languages. 
In order to enlarge the knowledge of learners, teachers and tutors teach them all integrated skills 
simultaneously. One of the main aims of teaching English has been related to vocabulary as it is 
considered as essential part of obtaining knowledge. 
In one of his speeches Islam Karimov pointed: “Education and upbringing, while being the product 
of consciousness, are the factors which define the level of consciousness and development. Without 
improving the system of education and upbringing one cannot alter the consciousness, and by not 
altering the consciousness, and consequently the mind, it would be impossible to achieve our highest 
goal-to build a free and prosperous society”.

The reason for choosing the topic named ‘Using songs for teaching vocabulary” is that effective 
approaches and methods of teaching vocabulary have always been under the consideration so that 
learners use easier and more effective ways of learning the language.
The very first definition which should be presented in the beginning of this thesis is that of vo-
cabulary. Unquestionably, it is not easy to explain such a wide term for the reason there are different 
definitions of vocabulary and various authors see them in a different way, the following part deals 
with three definitions. 
To begin with, Ur writes that: “vocabulary can be defined, roughly, as the words we teach in the 
foreign language”.

However, she points out that word is inadequate to describe the phrase vocabu-
lary. There are plentiful examples in which more than one word is used to represent an idea, for ex-
ample mother-in-law, record shop. In these words, there are two or three words used, but still, they 
present one concept. Next, the author also enumerates multi-word idioms, for instance call a day, 
in which the meaning is not possible to conjecture only by knowing the meaning of given words. 
Therefore, we cannot talk about vocabulary alone in terms of words. Ur finally suggests talking about 
vocabulary ‘items’ rather than ‘words’. 
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche said that ‘Without music life would be a mistake’. Let me rephrase 
this sentence: without music English class may not be a mistake, but it would be less entertaining, fun 
and memorable.

Songs have long been recognized as fun and child-friendly tools in both first and 
second language acquirement. According to Murphy, one of the important characteristics of music 
and songs for language learning is the fact that it seems to be easier to sing language than to speak it. 
He also claims that nowadays, it is almost impossible to escape music and songs. Music can be found 
everywhere, in operating theatres, in shopping malls, in restaurants and cafés, at sport events, in our
