Introduction
There are some reasons why
many people use songs to
learn English. First, song
are authentic materials. If
we want to learn English, we
should listen to English
songs. Second, English songs

history
DEFINITION OF SONG
A song is single (and often
standalone) work of music
intended to be sung by the human
voice with distinct and fixed
pitches and patterns using sound
and silence and a variety of forms
that often include the repetition of
sections.
SONGS
Song have been an amusing
companion for human beings for as
long as or even longer than we can
speak. Songs are highly expressive.
Songs are abundant in themes and
expressions which will echo in the
learner’s heart.
SOCIAL FUNCTION OF SONGS
The social function of song are
a. To entertain the listeners
b. To teach moral value through the lyrics of the songs
c. To provide a way of managing the realitionship
between our public and private emotional life
d. To express personal life and cultural values
e. To give someone to not only shares their emotions
with others
GENERAL STRUCTURE OF SONG
a. Intro
The introduction establishes melodic, harmonic, and/or rhythmic related to the main body of
song.
b. Verse
It is the section of the song structure that tells the story. This is the exposition, describing the
scene or the person, or an emotion. There are usually two or three verses in a row that have
the same musical structure, the same rhyme and poetic meter, but different words. The
second verse builds on the picture painted in the first verse, etc.
c. Chorus of Refrain
A chorus is the most repeated section, so it’s the easiest remembered. A chorus is the
summary of the song’s story. All the verses have been leading up to the chorus, and is usually
the part of the song people sing along with. A chorus can come at the beginning of the song
structure; it can also start in the middle, or come at the end. In fact, some songs don’t have
choruses at all. Some people are usually confused to differentiate between choruses and
refrain. A refrain is any line that repeats in the song lyric, while a chorus is any group of lines
that repeat.
d. Break
A break is actually a brief “rest” or “pause” for the core melody within a
song used to add further dimension and excitement. It may include a
quick instrumental solo or drum interlude or it may be a brief moment
of silence, or a combination of each of these elements.
e. Bridge
This is the part of the song that shifts. It can suddenly change tempo, or
volume, or instrumentation. The bridge is the section that gives the
audience time to reflect on the story, or gives them the “climax” or
conclusion of the story through verses and chorus. Bridges can be used
to give the singer a break.
f. Outro or Coda
This is the end of the road for the song. It can repeat the intro, chorus
or a refrain as an outro, or a bridge with an instrumental solo.
Language features of songs

Song lyrics can appeal to emotions, and they should also appeal to
the ear. It can be assumed that different genres of songs will exhibit
