Summary/Abstract: Language educators are constantly trying to make their classes more entertaining and engaging, and using music and songs appears to be an effective strategy. The major benefits of using music in the language class are better language structures acquisition - vocabulary and grammar, and enhanced learning motivation. The aim of this article is to assess the role music can play in acquiring grammar and vocabulary in the English language class, through assessing the opinions of pre-service teacher trainees, in-service teacher trainees and non-philology university students. The results were extremely favourable to the introduction of songs into the language classes.
