This blog post delves into using songs, especially those from contemporary artists, in Arabic language classrooms. The author suggests considering the following when choosing songs to use: learners’ proficiencies, the diction of the artist, the rhythm of the song, the dialect, and the time it takes to rehearse and learn lines. Allowing learners to choose songs can also be useful to increase learner engagement and motivation. At the end of the blog, the author includes a list of songs for classroom use. This resource would be useful for teachers looking for suggestions of contemporary artists/songs and for those new to using music in the classroom.
