Songs are key to primary practice
Most primary school teachers generally
use songs as a teaching technique, and Cameron
(2001) claims that the use of songs
and rhymes is also important for YLs in
foreign language classrooms. Likewise, Johnstone
(2002) claims that teachers of YLs may
make an important contribution to children’s
early language education by introducing their
classes to recorded songs. Demirel (2004)
makes the strongest claim when he argues
that the most effective way to teach listening
comprehension, pronunciation, and dictation
to YLs is through teaching songs.
