IMPROVING LISTENING SKILL BY LISTENING TO THE MUSIC

WHY WE USE SONG?

Research shows that music training can be of immense benefit to language development. Music listening—such as paying attention to pitch variation and timbre—can increase a child’s ability to distinguish specific sounds within words. The awareness that comes from listening to rhythm in music can increase awareness of the rhythmic structure of language, thus helping children learn to read fluently. -“The Relationship Between Music and Beginning Readers,” by Susannah J. Lamb and Andrew H. Gregory, Educational Psychology, Vol. 12 Issue 1, 1993, p. 19.

HOW TO DO IT?

•Most beginners get difficulty due to the lack of vocabularies, pronunciation and grammar.

- Select your favourite song. It helps practice the listening easily and you can anticipate the level of difficulty.

- Listen without reading the text/ dialogue once or twice. When you find difficulty in grasping the meaning, listen again while scrutinizing the text/ dialogue.

- Pay attention carefully to the pronunciation and intonation. If you want to improve your pronunciation, listen and repeat the song by pausing each sentence.

•After listening to the song, do the exercise and check your answer with the song’s lyric
