English progress. Some underlying reason can be drawn to
support the idea why we use songs in language learning.
Firstly, “the song stuck in my head” Phenomenon (the echoing
in our minds of the last song we heard after leaving a
restaurant, shopping malls, etc) can be both enjoyable and
sometimes unnerving. This phenomenon also seems to
reinforce the idea that songs work on our short-and-long term
memory.
Secondly, songs in general also use simple conversational
language, with a lot of repetition, which is just what many
learners look for sample text. The fact that they are effective
makes them many times more motivating than other text.
Although usually simple, some songs can be quite complex
syntactically, lexically and poetically, and can be analyzed in
the same way as any other literary sample.
Furthermore, song can be appropriated by listener for their
own purpose. Most pop songs and probably many other types
don’t have precise people, place or time reference.
In addition, songs are relaxing. They provide variety and fun,
and encourage harmony within oneself and within one group.
Little wonder they are important tools in sustaining culture,
religion, patriotism and yeas, even revolution.
Last but not least, there are many learning activities we can do
with songs such as studying grammar, practicing selective
listening comprehension, translating songs, learning
vocabulary, spelling and culture.
From the elaboration above, it can be concluded that learning
through music and songs, learning English can be enjoyable
and fun.
16. What is the communicative purpose of the text?
A. To tell the reader about the songs
B. To entertain the reader with the songs
C. To show the reader the use of songs
D. To persuade the reader to use songs in learning
language
