FACT : Students who use music to learn foreign vocabulary, learn their target language faster.
In their study conducted in 2014, Ludke, Ferreira, & Overy examined the effectiveness of using different techniques to learn foreign vocabulary. Three “listen-and-repeat” conditions were tested: hearing sung phrases, rhythmic spoken phrases, or spoken phrases. The results showed that students achieved the best results when they heard sung phrases, and even more so when they spoke the target language (Hungarian). A significant difference was observed between the sing/rhythmical and spoken conditions.
- FACT
Being played a rhythm before a vocabulary task improves young children’s grammatical processing.
A separate investigation into Hungarian learners revealed that “rhythmic priming” – being exposed to a rhythm before performing a vocabulary task – can have a beneficial effect on young children’s grammatical processing. Specifically, it was found to improve performance on grammatical tasks but not word retrieval or other non-linguistic activities.
