A song chosen should always contain a grammatical structure or a lingual subject. The diction of the singer
should be clear so that the student will understand the lyrics more easily. The song should be chosen form a
music genre favored by a major group of listeners. For example, if the teacher makes the students listen to only
classical Turkish songs, then the students may feel bored with the lesson.
Applying these four criteria above during a lesson ensures that songs are optimally utilized in the class.
