    Discuss why songs & poetry are
    important in teaching language.
    There are many activities that can be
    done. For example;
    i) songs can be adapted to poetry.
    ii) poems can be used in many different
    ways and the more you use them the
    more uses youll find for them.

    The other great thing about poems is for
    students to have the opportunity to see the
    language work creatively and freely.

    PISMP TESL SK JAN 2013
    Songs attract students attention.
    Thus, making it easier for them to
    understand the lesson.
    Students will be more motivaed to
    learn as songs & poetry are fun and
    can prevent boredom in class.
    Easier to memorize because usually
    songs are catchy and students can
    sing-along.
    Enrichment in vocabulary with
    guidance from teacher.
