Summary
One of the factors that influence a person’s success in learning a foreign language is the learning method or strategy used by the teacher. Among the fun activities that can be done in class, songs and games are the most effective to be used for children in language learning. Brewster, et al (2007) emphasize that songs are an ideal strategy for learning languages, since through songs there are repetitions of vocabulary and structure of language and rhythms that can increase students’ interest in learning. Songs can be used to provide interesting repetitions of the structure of the language which tends to be boring, train the provision of correct rhythm and pressure, teach new vocabulary, and be used to teach in groups or in individual training. Teachers give their students a greater role and allow them to be more responsible It can as well increase students’ self-confidence
