A word of caution is necessary. As language teachers, we should always bear in mind that our main responsibility is to teach the target language. No matter how fun and enjoyable song activities may be for YLs, we should not get carried away by the music and rhythm of songs. Our main responsibility is not to teach singing skills, but to teach the target language. Therefore, if songs are used ineffectively, they can easily become mere entertainment and pleasurable interruptions in the school day that, in the long term, result in boredom and a lack of interest. There should be a clear reason in the language teacher’s mind as to why and how to use a song. Songs can be an effective means of developing children’s language skills only when they are well integrated into a scheme of work and carefully selected for the cognitive and linguistic needs of pupils.
