APPROACHING ENGLISH GRAMMAR THROUGH SONGS

The idea of writing this book started after observing students (foreign language learners of English) suffering from the lack of actual daily-life situations in the English used in their grammar course.


They usually separate the grammatical rules from the contexts in which they are used, and memorize them as a poem. Some beginner students translate these rules into their native languages and fall at the danger of transfer.

As a result, most of these courses have created a great deal of difficulty to students at all levels of their language proficiency. Another problem I have noticed is related to what might be called real and artificial contexts used in explaining the grammatical rules. As foreign language learners of English, students have always had a tendency towards using the English they perceive when they watch or hear series, movies, and songs in English.
In contrast, when they read the books of grammar full of monotonous formal contexts with names of unknown people and fake stories, they usually have the sense that the English used in these books is different in one way or another.

They, consequently, move away from learning the contexts in which the grammatical rules are used to learning the rules themselves and finally fail to use them appropriately.

If used properly, this book is expected to familiarize the foreign language learners (inside and outside the classroom) with some contexts with unpretentious incidents created by various composers of songs and presented by some popular singers.
