Using songs and rhymes to teach comprehension : a study conducted on a group of primary four pupils in Sampun primary school, Asajaya, Samarahan, Sarawak, Malaysia / Emas Gijak

Using Songs and Rhymes to Teach Comprehension in ESL Classroom English language in Malaysia is a second language. Though the status is second to Bahasa Malaysia, its roles are now more defined. With the advancement in Information and Communication Technology (ICT), English language has become an increasingly important language in this present borderless world. Therefore, the Ministry of Education from time to time introduces new English programmes and techniques to enhance the teaching and learning of English in Malaysian schools. This study seeks to see whether the gradual infusion of songs and rhymes among the students at primary four level, can be used as another potential technique to enhance the process of teaching and learning the English language. This is in addition to the existing methods and techniques that are being used.
