A Questionnaire Project: Using Music and Songs in EFL Classroom to Achieve Language Learning

Abstract

This study aimed at investigating teachers’ attitudes towards the use of music and songs in EFL classroom. Purposive sampling was used to select (30) basic school teachers of English at six English medium schools. A questionnaire was used as a tool for data collection. The data was then analysed using statistical package for social science (SPSS). The researcher adopted the descriptive analytical method to interpret the data obtained from the above mentioned instrument. The findings revealed that most of Sudanese EFL teachers believe that songs are not a flexible resource for teachers. Besides, the findings showed that teachers had difficulty to integrate songs that suit young learners’ level and interest. Therefore, the study recommended that curriculum and course designers should provide English curricula with different songs that suit different language skills and themes and should conduct training courses that provide EFL teachers with different techniques for adapting and exploiting music and songs for the language classroom.
