| Abstract |
This Song Creation activity aimed at
enhancing students’ understanding of
parts of speech (especially, nouns) as
they filled in the blanks of a song
lyrics worksheet with suitable nouns
and also developing students’
creativity through composing their own
song lyrics. In addition, it provided
students the freedom to be creative in
expressing their thoughts and to learn
grammar in an entertaining manner when
composing their own song lyrics. This
method of teaching and learning
started with the playing of a song
entitled “Heal the World†twice to the
students. While listening to the song,
they filled in the blanks with
suitable nouns. The next step involved
going through the answers with the
students. Then, the students worked in
groups to compose their own song. This
was followed by members from each
group singing the song which they have
composed to the whole class. This
method is unique as there is no such
method being used in class as yet to
promote the teaching and learning of
parts of speech. It will be an impact
to the education sector to improve the
teaching and learning technique by
incorporating songs to teach grammar
in a more fun way and at the same
time, students learn to be more
creative and innovative. |
