USING MUSIC AND SONG TO INCREASE THE LEVEL OF MOTIVATION TO LEARN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE IN A NON-LINGUISTIC HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTION

Abstract

The article deals with an issue of influence of teaching methods and strategies related to the use of music and songs on the learning and teaching of a foreign language in the framework of the theory of multiple intelligences. The study is an analysis of works of foreign authors devoted to this problem. The results of this study show that the complexity of the process of teaching a foreign language arises from the social and cognitive needs of students, which in most cases are not taken into account, and many affective factors also have a negative impact. The article concludes that songs and music can certainly be considered as one of the useful language learning tools that helps in the teaching process without putting a lot of academic pressure on students. The emphasis is on the need to create a psychologically comfortable, supportive learning environment, free from anxiety and other negative emotions. Evidence is given that the use of songs and music is an effective means of developing all types of speech activity, especially listening.
