Abstract

This report on using songs for grammar instruction is a small part of my ongoing doctoral dissertation on teacher beliefs on language learning and teaching. The study was conducted on four urban English high school teachers in Bangalore. The teachers used songs as an authentic resource to teach grammar. The teachers reported that songs provided an ideal context for language learning because the students learned language structures without explicit instruction, while also being able to use them in contexts outside the classroom. This paper describes in detail the procedure I used to teach phrasal verbs.
