Lyrics Training

     What is lyrics training? I know, some people might think lyrics training is just a tool that we use to have fun. But lyrics training is more than that if we look thoroughly at it. Lyrics training is a tool that indirectly promotes language learning because it helps learners to learn language through listening, writing which includes spelling skills.



HOW?
     Lyrics training is a tool that students can choose a song from various music videos that they like/enjoy. While listening to the song, the lyrics of the song will appear at the bottom with some words missing. Therefore, it is the students' job to fill in the missing spaces with the correct word while listening to the singer who will be singing the song perfectly. That is where the student will carefully listen to the song and try their best to fill in the empty spaces with correct words and perfect spelling.

                           


     Lyrics training is a free website and suitable for all level of learners (primary and secondary schools) as the students can choose the level of difficulty that suits their level of english proficiency. For instance, if the student choose the easiest level which is "beginner" the missing words will be only 10percent of the song lyrics  and if level of difficulty chosen is the hardest one students will have to fill in all the lyrics. Another thing that is good about lyrics training is it will stop the song until the students are able to fill in the empty space correctly and the students can pause or keep on replaying the specific line that they could not figure out the answer. Lyrics training could be a good tool of learning language as it also encourages students to learn language on their own. The use of song is a good approach as it is a fun way of learning and we all know most students especially teenagers love songs.
