THE DIDACTIC VALUE OF SONGS AND RHYTHMIC TEXTS IN TEACHING YOUNG LEARNERS
Abstract
This paper looks at how songs and rhyming texts can aid in young children's education. It shows that music and rhythm help kids learn languages by improving their memory, drive, and emotional involvement. Adding songs to lessons aids pupils in improving their pronunciation, rhythm, and communication skills in a fun, organic way. The study also stresses how vital multisensory learning is and how music relates to language skills. The results imply that rhythmic language materials improve thinking skills and foster an open classroom where all students can learn.
