Music can help you to improve English in many ways...
First of all, the lyrics are a very important aspect in every song, and fundamentally they are written in English. So you can understand better some structures or learning new vocabulary. Furthermorek, there is something really strange that occur in English classes; students sometimes pronounce better when they listen to music than an everyday structure learned in class. There are some researches that state the following thing:
Using music in a language acquisition context generates interested students, but there are other effects, including higher vocabulary acquisition, a natural context for words, extra-linguistic clues to meaning and exaggerated prosody, all of which aid second language acquisition. Language teachers have much to gain from familiarizing themselves with the educational uses of music and the effect of music on thought and behavior. Music's effect on language acquisition has also been proven in clinical studies by music therapists, who see similar results.
As a conclusion, teachers can make use of this useful tool when it’s possible without abusing. It will promote motivation and will make the teacher in tune with the class.
