Abstract

This article theoretically and practically analyzes the linguodidactic significance of songs in forming and developing speaking skills. The study covers issues of pronunciation (including connected speech), vocabulary, grammatical structures, and speech fluency through songs. Furthermore, the results of several recent experimental studies (Kitjaroonchai & Sukman, 2025; Hidayat, 2025; Jain et al., 2024; Faridloh, 2022; are analyzed. The article proposes a three-stage methodology (preparation, application, reinforcement) for effectively using songs in the classroom. Scientific evidence and practical recommendations are intended for English language teachers, methodologists, and language learners.
