Long live music! Contours of a research of the potential of songs in teaching Dutch as a foreign language

Summary/Abstract: This writing deals with the opportunities for conducting research in the field of exploiting the potential of songs for the purposes of Teaching Dutch as a Foreign Language (to this area is in the text referred with the Dutch abbreviation NVT — “Nederlands als vreemde taal”). This research is based upon a combination of the literature study and examples of good practice. These examples were observed at one of the NVT-institutes offering university studies of Dutch in the Czech Republic. The methodological choice for using the NVT-field within the region of Central Europe as the point of reference is discussed in detail. The same applies to minimalizing the number of the NVT-institutes where this research is carried out. These reasons have primarily to do with the feasibility of this research and with the increased availability of the ICT-tools in the recent years. It is expected that these tools can contribute to improving foreign language teaching and make it more effective. Special attention is being paid to the pilot research concerning the ways how the bachelor students of Dutch in the 1st and the 2nd year at this particular university perceive systematic implementation of songs for the language teaching purposes.
