Effects of music use in English language learning: the case of two Moroccan high school science classes.

The use of songs and many other music activities are usually perceived as useless in different teaching settings. Still, as studies showed, the strong effect and multifaceted changes music creates in both the learner and the learning process can’t be denied and hence provides a rationale for integrating them in EFL classrooms. This paper is part of an action research conducted in a Moroccan private high-school. Two science groups took part in the study. The study aimed to check if any positive outcome would take place in the students due to music use. The findings of this action research concluded that, after being exposed to music activities sporadically, the two groups showed a change in attitudes and motivation to the English class.
