Songs on grammar
editSongs are powerful tools for learning vocabulary, rhythm and structures, from the most simple to the most complex ones. They may relate to strong emotional and cultural or social questions that make them more prone to memorizing. Different from texts and other textbook resources, songs will be carried out from the classroom, accompanying the students on their routine.
