THE ROLE OF SONGS AND STORIES IN TEACHING ENGLISH AT A2 LEVEL

Abstract

Abstract: Songs and stories have increasingly been recognized as effective tools in teaching English, especially for learners at the A2 level. This article explores the pedagogical significance of songs and stories in language instruction, focusing on their role in vocabulary acquisition, pronunciation, listening comprehension, cultural awareness, and motivation. Drawing upon second language acquisition theories and classroom observations, the paper demonstrates how integrating songs and stories contributes to communicative competence and enhances the overall learning experience. The findings suggest that these methods should not be treated as supplementary but rather as essential strategies for effective A2-level pedagogy.
