Abstract

Foreign language teaching process is a difficult process for both learner and teacher. One of the problems encountered in this process is the failure to reach the desired teaching goal by using the traditional method. Trying new age-appropriate methods as an alternative to traditional methods provides ease and success in language teaching. The methods and techniques used while teaching the language are important. It is beneficial to use the most appropriate and different methods to increase success. According to Gardner's Multiple Intelligence Theory, everyone is claimed to be different. The methods and techniques used according to these differences become more efficient thanks to the tools that make up the independent teaching tools used in foreign language teaching. In this study, research about the failures encountered during foreign language teaching and different activities that can be used as a solution to this have been conducted. A research has been done on different tools that can be used in foreign language teaching. In this research, the academic success of the use of music in Arabic teaching compared to traditional education methods has been examined.
