Annotation: Music has proven to be an invaluable tool in enhancing various
aspects of language learning, particularly in the development of speaking skills. This
article explores the significance of incorporating music into language lessons as a
central strategy for improving pronunciation, fluency, and overall speaking confidence.
By using music-based activities such as singing, rhythmic exercises, and role-playing,
language learners can practice and internalize the natural rhythm and intonation of the
language. These activities not only help in mastering pronunciation but also encourage
fluidity in conversation and increase learners' self-assurance when speaking.Through
cognitive and emotional engagement, music fosters a deeper connection to the
language, aiding in memory retention and vocabulary acquisition. Additionally, music-
based tasks can improve both receptive (listening and comprehension) and productive
(speaking) language skills, making language learning a more dynamic and enjoyable
process. This article emphasizes the effectiveness of music in language teaching and
offers practical strategies for teachers to integrate musical elements into their
curriculum to create a motivating, effective, and engaging learning environment.
