Music evoke emotions, which can enhance memory and retention of language.

Using songs in English language teaching is a powerful tool that addresses various aspects of language learning. It enhances listening skills, builds vocabulary, teaches grammar, and improves pronunciation. Integrating songs into the curriculum can make the learning process more effective and enjoyable for students. 

Songs are engaging and can make learning more enjoyable and less stressful. They provide exposure to authentic language , and can create a positive and dynamic classroom atmosphere promoting social interaction and teamwork.

Some songs can also be a powerful medium for conveying educational messages, raising awareness, and inspiring action on various social, environmental, and political issues. By listening to and discussing these songs, individuals can gain a deeper understanding of important themes and be motivated to contribute to positive change in society.

"Heal the World" by Michael Jackson is a powerful example of how songs can convey educational and moral messages, promoting social awareness and empathy. There are a few other songs that also carry strong educational meanings, for example :

  • Imagine : promotes peace and unity, encouraging listeners to envision a world without divisions based on religion, politics, or possessions.
  • Blowin' in the wind:  asks rhetorical questions about peace, war, and freedom, highlighting the struggles for civil rights and social justice.
  • We shall overcome : an anthem of civil rights, social justice, and hope.
  • One : speaks about unity, reconciliation, and the need to come together despite differences.


La Musica Evoca Emozioni, che Possono Migliorare la Memoria e il mantenimento della Lingua

Usare canzoni nell'insegnamento della lingua inglese è uno strumento potente che affronta vari aspetti dell'apprendimento linguistico. Migliora le abilità di ascolto, costruisce il vocabolario, insegna la grammatica e migliora la pronuncia. Integrare le canzoni nel curriculum può rendere il processo di apprendimento più efficace e piacevole per gli studenti.

Le canzoni sono coinvolgenti e possono rendere l'apprendimento più divertente e meno stressante. Forniscono esposizione a un linguaggio autentico e possono creare un'atmosfera di classe positiva e dinamica, promuovendo l'interazione sociale e il lavoro di squadra.

Alcune canzoni possono anche essere un mezzo potente per trasmettere messaggi educativi, aumentare la consapevolezza e ispirare azioni su varie questioni sociali, ambientali e politiche. Ascoltando e discutendo queste canzoni, le persone possono ottenere una comprensione più profonda di temi importanti ed essere motivati a contribuire a un cambiamento positivo nella società.


"Heal the World" di Michael Jackson è un esempio potente di come le canzoni possano trasmettere messaggi educativi e morali, promuovendo la consapevolezza sociale e l'empatia. Ci sono alcune altre canzoni che portano anche forti significati educativi, ad esempio:

- Imagine: Promuove la pace e l'unità, incoraggiando gli ascoltatori a immaginare un mondo senza divisioni basate sulla religione, la politica o i beni materiali.

- Blowin' in the Wind: Pone domande retoriche sulla pace, la guerra e la libertà, evidenziando le lotte per i diritti civili e la giustizia sociale.

- We Shall Overcome: Un inno ai diritti civili, alla giustizia sociale e alla speranza.

- One: Parla di unità, riconciliazione e della necessità di unirsi nonostante le differenze.

Queste canzoni dimostrano come la musica possa essere un mezzo potente per veicolare messaggi educativi, aumentare la consapevolezza e ispirare cambiamenti positivi nella società.

Heal the world (lyrics)

spoken 

Think about the generations and to say we want to make it a better

world for our children and our children's children. So that they know

it's a better world for them; and think if they can make it a better place.


There's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much
Brighter than tomorrow.
And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel
There's no hurt or sorrow.
There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space, make a better place.

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for
You and for me.

If you want to know why
There's a love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares for joyful giving.
If we try we shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel
Fear or dread
We stop existing and start living
Then it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
Make a better world, make a better world.

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race.
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for
You and for me.

And the dream we would conceived in
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth, crucify it's soul
Though it's plain to see, this world is heavenly
Be God's glow.

We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart I feel
You are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we'll cry happy tears
See the nations turn
Their swords into plowshares
We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space to make a better place.

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for
You and for me.

Refrain (2x)

La musica : una marcia in più funsongs.co.uk L'intervento di Charles Goodger a Radio Canale Italia mi dà lo spunto ,non solo per confermare quanto detto e spiegato da lui stesso, ma anche per ripercorrere la mia esperienza in questo campo.  Da molti anni utilizzo le canzoni nell'insegnamento e apprendimento della lingua inglese,  ispirandomi anche al metodo FunSongs di Charles Goodger.                    Il  valore  aggiunto che la musica può portare all'acquisizione linguistica, va oltre i metodi tradizionali  per creare un ambiente di apprendimento stimolante e favorevole. Alla base di tutto ciò la motivazione che è il vero incentivo all'apprendimento.  La musica nell’apprendimento dell’inglese è uno strumento particolarmente potente, sia per  bambini che per adulti. Numerosi studi evidenziano come la musica renda il processo di  apprendimento più efficace, coinvolgente e naturale. Utilizzar...

  H ow music can make you better Music affects learning as it activates both the left and right brain at the same time, and the activation of both hemispheres can maximize learning and improve memory. Music also lights up nearly all of the brain — including the hippocampus and amygdala, which activate emotional responses to music through memory; the limbic system, which governs pleasure, motivation, and reward; and the body's motor system. Music can help to improve motivation and engagement. Many people find that listening to music helps improve their mood, which can help them learn and retain information. Music can make you feel more engaged and interested in the learning process. Music can create a positive learning environment For many students, school can be a source of stress, and music offers a natural way to create a calming atmosphere. For instance, when playing soft and soothing music during challenging times, it can lower stress and anxiety levels. This calming infl...
