abstract
Music and song stimulate language growth by
training the ear to sounds and patterns;
practicing new sounds, words, and idioms
through singing; and creating classroom
community while lowering the affective filter.
With the Internet and smartphones, any
teacher can purposefully incorporate songs
and music in the classroom.

Learning about music is valid
in its own right, not just
as a means to other
knowledge or skills
Language acquisition and
learning are integrated processes, & so is the role of music in them is, too…

Where does music
perception and
processing “reside” in
the brain?

Music and language processing
are both located in Broca’s area
both recognize patterns and syntax

Broca’s area lights up on PET scans when subjects hear a discordant musical sequence just as it does when they hear an ungrammatical utterance.
![Page 7: Kristin Lems PCI at TESOL 2014 - Music and Song in Teaching ESL](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051512/54459f4ab1af9fdb068b4605/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Music is also processed in the
limbic system, which controls
emotions
Carol Krumhansl (Cornell University):
…music directly elicits a range of emotions. Music
with a quick tempo in a major key…brought about
all the physical changes associated with
happiness in listeners. In contrast, a slow tempo
and minor key led to sadness.
2014 Kristin Lems

Geoffrey Miller, University College,
London: pattern recognition
"Our brain is constantly trying to make order out of
disorder, and music is a fantastic pattern game for
our higher cognitive centers…..our brains are
exercised by extracting different patterns and
groupings from music's performance.
This pattern recognition gave rise to language
and stands behind mathematical ability as well
(The Math Gene).

Educators all know…
Music overcomes inhibitions
Music gives people a chance to share their likes
and preferences
Music is non-hierarchical – people can enjoy
and take part in it regardless of educational
attainment
Every culture has
music – no one is
“deprived”

Music is associated with our
deepest memories
You must remember this…

The power of the arts in education
Autistic children can be highly analytical listeners and are able to access musical details more readily than typically developing children ScienceDaily (May 27, 2004)
Artistic activities build community
Provides an outlet and validation for GLBT kids with artistic talent

What do we know about music
and learning?
2014 Kristin Lems
![Page 14: Kristin Lems PCI at TESOL 2014 - Music and Song in Teaching ESL](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051512/54459f4ab1af9fdb068b4605/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
An interest in a performing art leads to a high state of motivation.
That in turn produces
the sustained attention and the training of attention that leads to improvement in other cognitive domains.
2014 Kristin Lems

One of the central predictors of
early literacy, phonological
awareness, is correlated with
both music training and the
development of a specific brain
pathway.

Music is positively associated with academic achievement, especially during the high school years

The infant brain makes
associations between melody
and positions in space When baby hears rising melody sequence while
watching an object rise, and falling sequence of
notes with a falling object, they learn to pair them
When baby as young as 4 months shown object
falling when sequence of notes is RISING, and
object rising when melody sequence falls, they do
not learn the pairing
Relationship between sound and space perception (Spelke, in Dana report, 2008) 2013 Kristin Lems

Hearing songs in new
languages assists in the
segmenting of new words,
probably due to the
motivational and structuring
properties of song

Why are pop songs so powerful
for language learners?
They’re everywhere – many learners have them as part of their background knowledge
They use high frequency vocabulary
Use of 2nd person, first person singular and plural draws listeners in, giving them an emotional “stake” in the music
They are repetitive, a perfect effortless “drill” for sounds and syntax (Tim Murphey, 2000)
2014 Kristin Lems
![Page 21: Kristin Lems PCI at TESOL 2014 - Music and Song in Teaching ESL](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051512/54459f4ab1af9fdb068b4605/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Parallels between benefits of music
learning and bilingualism
Both are associated with cognitive advantages
Both are proven to hold back the effects of
Alzheimers
Both have more powerful effects when
introduced at an early age

I’d rather be a sparrow than a snail…
I’d rather be a hammer than a nail…
I’d rather be a forest than a street…
I’d rather feel the earth beneath my feet…
Students write sentences with these frames:
I’d rather be ___________ than __________
I’d rather ______________ than __________

Jason Mraz – text analysis
After listening once to “I’m Yours”:
What does “done done” mean?
How does the phrase “You win some…”
end?
What is another way to pronounce “The
sky is yours?” and what does it mean?

So I won't hesitate no more, no more It cannot wait, I'm sure There's no need to complicate, our time is short This is our fate, I'm yours D-d-do do you, but do you, d-d-do But do you want to come on Scootch on over closer dear so I can nibble your ear? I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer But my breath fogged up the glass And so I drew a new face and I laughed
I guess what I been saying is there ain't no better reason To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons It's what we aim to do, our name is our virtue But I won't hesitate no more, no more It cannot wait, I'm sure there’s no need to complicate… Open up your mind and see like me Open up your plans and damn you're free Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours I won't hesitate no more, no more -It cannot wait, I'm yours

Lesson plan Divide students into small groups
Each group is assigned one verse
Least proficient group can be assigned to
chorus
Each member of group listens to song, writes
what they hear, and compares notes to create
one version
A member of the group writes it on board, and
the whole class listens again
Any miscues noticed by other groups are
corrected, correct lyric sheet provided 2014 Kristin Lems

Ways to scaffold:
preteach key words in advance
(e.g. whatever, handsome, tenderly)
explicitly teach tricky features:
(e.g. future’s not ours… (American
flap)

1. I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my days
I bid farewell to old Kentucky
the place where I was born and raised
the place where he was born and raised
2. For six long years I've been in trouble
No pleasure here on earth I've found
For in this world I'm bound to ramble
I have no friends to help me now
he has no friends to help him now
3. It's fare thee well my own true lover
I never expect to see you again
For I'm bound to ride that Northern
Railroad
Perhaps I'll die upon this train
Perhaps he’ll die upon this train
4. You can bury me in some green
valley
For many years where I may lay
May you learn to love another
While I am sleeping in my grave
While he is sleeping in his grave
5. Maybe your friends think I'm
just a stranger
My face you never will see no more
But there is one promise that is
given
I'll meet you on God's golden shore
He'll meet you on God's golden
shore

New Verse to “What a Wonderful World” I see trees of green, red roses too.
I see them bloom, for me and you.
And I think to myself... what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue, and clouds of white.
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself... what a wonderful world...
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Also the faces of people going by,
I see friends shaking hands, say how do you do?
They're really saying, I love you.
I hear babies crying, I watch them grow.
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know,
And I think to myself... what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself... what a wonderful world
