Abstract
There is a strong link between music and language. When music is used as a tool in the process of acquiring a second language, classroom engagement increases and students' anxiety decreases. Studies show that song-based lesson plans are an effective medium for students to tackle traditional learning goals. However, mainstream curriculum does not adequately reflect the data nor positive testimonials. Dynamic, fruitful, and inclusive, music is an indispensable tool for learning a second language, and it should be fully integrated into the language learning classroom.
