Foreign language acquisition and melody singing

What is it about?

This article considers the value of relating music and language in the EFL classroom. From an ontological point of view, sounds are the roots of both music and speech. Our ‘melodic approach’ is based on the evidence that musicality of speech has an effect not only on the pronunciation skills of EFL students but also on their entire language acquisition process. A number of suggestions are made to provide the teacher with a range of teaching devices.
