According to Larry M. Lynch stated that the keys to using songs for teaching children English as a foreign language there are 12 keys they are:10 first, teacher uses most popular song in language teaching.

Second, teacher should also select song with easy to understand lyrics absolutely, no profanity (violent, illegal or immoral themes like sex drug use, prostitution, gang violence, kill your mother, suicide, etc).

Third, teacher can give motivate their students (teacher takes along children's songs on cassette or CD with the lyrics).

Four, teacher will need to be very careful of downloads most popular song lyric from sites (like this since they frequently full of viruses).

Five, teacher uses films and shorts directly or just a recording with display pictures for visual support.

Six, teacher should use the standard children's song (teacher do not use children's song difficulty to understand).

Seven, teacher should use inter-active games and total physical response (TPR) along with the songs.

Eight, teacher keeps a fairly past faced class going as children get bored and restless easily with their short attention, and teacher can change activities every is minutes.
Nine, teacher tries incorporating some simple dance moves into the songs too for some added benefit (like pantomime, swing, sway, kick, jump etc).

Ten, teacher uses pictures as an aid in teaching key words in the song lyrics (like posters, drawings anything that provides positive visual support and reinforcement for lexical elements, grammatical then connected speech, pronunciation or use on context is fair game in EFL classes for children).

Eleven, teacher give practice a couple of the songs and activities before hand in front of a mirror or your own.


Twelve, teacher should make classroom interesting with teaching is fun.
