Efficient English Learning for Chinese Pupils: Integrate Children’s Songs Into English Teaching Based on Cognitive Neuroscience

Abstract

The study shows that Chinese school oral English teaching is inefficient. Chinese have the tradition of reciting with rhythms, movements, and meditation, which has been proved efficient for language learning and memory. The values of children’s songs for English learning are analyzed based on neuroscience. The positive emotion and confidence for pupils’ English learning are highlighted. A project-based teacher education ecosystem is practised aided by new media. We try to integrate songs into English teaching to improve the learning efficacy and to use children’s familiar melodies to create their own songs.
