Songs can be a beneficial tool for language learning in the classroom by exposing students to authentic language, new vocabulary, grammar, and culture. Some activities that can be used with songs include having students circle or underline incorrect words, put the lyrics in order to guess the title, sing and perform the emotions of a song with one student in the center, listen and mime their phrase while standing in a line, and listen and write down words heard as fast as possible.
