EFFECTIVENESS AND METHODS OF TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGES THROUGH MUSIC LESSONS

Abstract

The integration of music into foreign language education offers a dynamic and effective approach to language acquisition, leveraging the natural synergy between music and language processing in the brain. This annotation outlines the core principles and benefits of using music lessons as a tool for learning foreign languages, focusing on cognitive, emotional, and cultural dimensions. Music and language share overlapping neural pathways, making music a powerful medium for enhancing memory retention and phonological awareness. The rhythmic and melodic elements of music help students internalize pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammatical structures more effectively than traditional methods. Music evokes emotions, which play a crucial role in deepening students' connection to the language. Songs often tell stories and convey cultural nuances, making language learning more meaningful and engaging.
