In their first language, people of differing cultures listen to, sing, and talk about songs regularly. There has also been a long history of parents and teachers using songs to teach children language. However, in EFL classrooms most instructors rarely if ever teach with songs. There are numerous reasons why EFL instructors should teach with songs. Songs motivate and are of interest to students. Research has shown that students learning with songs improve their language ability at a rate equal to or greater than those learning with nonmusical materials. Songs bring students into contact with authentic language. They are readily available to both teachers and students. Perhaps the most important reason is that students can use songs outside of the classroom to learn language. The aim of this paper is to examine in more detail the reasons why EFL instructors should teach with songs. Suggestions on how teachers can use songs are also given.
