Much research has been done on the subject of songs and language learning and the results are conclusive, songs are a great way to learn languages. Songs increase retention while creating a fun classroom which sparks enthusiasm and student motivation.

With AI tools teachers and students can create customized music on any topic, using whatever vocabulary and language structures they want.  AI tools can empower anyone to create. You do not have to be gifted in playing or singing music to create a fun and engaging song that can help students learn.  

Here are some creative activities to do with AI-generated songs: 

• Practice descriptive writing-  students create descriptive writing prompts and use AI to generate music based on their descriptions. 

• Music inspired by literature- students can describe a scene from a story. They can use the song to create a clip using AI music tools.  

• Fill-in-the-blanks - students create songs with the learned vocabulay, then make a worksheet with some words blank. As they listen, the other students must fill in the missing words.

• Sing-along - students sing along with the song. Don't you still remember lyrics to song you have not heard for many years?

• Grammar spotlight - create a song to highlight and practice specific grammar points, such as verb tenses or sentence structures.

• Song-inspired writing -  create a song and have students write a short story or dialogue inspired by the themes in the song.
