Using songs and humor in the classroom has both linguistic and cognitive value for strengthening English language acquisition. It helps to develop cross-cultural and interactive communication skills. Song lyrics will stimulate phonetics, vocabulary and improve grammar. Students are motivated and the affective filter is lowered through song-based activities combined with humorous lyrics. Listening skills become more intense and focused. During the digital age, an extraordinary collection of music can be downloaded at little or no cost and numerous websites from around the world are available for educators and students. Creativity and imagination are stimulated in a positive class atmosphere where music is incorporated to enable optimum learning.
