SONGS

Using aunthentic songs in the EFL class is one of the best ways of teaching a foreign language. The atmosphere is more relaxed when listening to a song. Students are highly motivated and their attitude is usually positive. As a consequence, they will get involved more easily.
Authentic songs can help the students develop the four skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking) and they are a good example of the language in use. 
Whether to practise or revise language content(grammatical or comprenhension, to present a topic or language content, to stimulate speaking through discussions, or to encourage creativity, the most important thing is to find the appropriate song that will suit your purposes.
