Paroles
From VOA Learning English, this is the Health and Lifestyle report.
Have you ever found yourself in this situation: You hear a song you used to
sing when you were a child — a bit of nostalgia or «blast from the past,»
as we say.
But it is not a distant childhood memory.
The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago.
Here is an example:
I had not heard this song in years.
But when adeejay played it recently at a children’s birthday party,
I sang it word for word.
A noun’s a special kind of word.
It’s any name you’ve ever heard.
I find it quite interesting — a noun’s a person, place or thing."
This is the Schoolhouse Rock song that taught me what nouns are and I never
forgot it.
It seems there is a scientific reason for this.
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between
music and remembering a foreign language.
They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even
one of the most difficult languages.
The Hungarian experiment
Here is what they did.
Researchers took 60 adults and randomly split them into three groups of 20.
Then they gave the groups three different types of «listen-and-repeat»
learning conditions.
Researchers had one group simply speak the words.
They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm, or beat.
And they asked the third group to sing the words.
All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15 minutes.
Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered.
Why Hungarian, you ask?
Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language.
It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian
or Spanish.
After the tests were over, the singers came out on top.
The people who learned these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a
higher overall performance.
They did the best in four out of five of the tests.
They also performed two times better than those who simply learned the words by
speaking them.
Dr.
Katie Overy supervised the study at the university’s Reid School of Music.
She says singing could lead to new ways to learning a foreign language.
The brain, it seems, likes to remember things when they are contained in a
catchy, or memorable, tune.
Dr.
Overy worked with Dr.
Karen Ludke and Professor Fernanda Ferreira on this study.
Their findings are published in the journal
Memory and Cognition.
Dr.
Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign
languages.
On the University of Edinburgh’s website Dr.
Ludke writes, «This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen-and-repeat
singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for
future research in this area.»
Language teachers know using music works
Language teachers already know the value of using music and singing.
A teacher at a Chinese language school in Washington, D.
relies heavily on songs and chants to teach Chinese.
Hua Zhu Ying teaches students who most likely have never spoken Chinese before
coming to the school.
Ms.
Hua says she uses music all the time to teach children Chinese.
For example, for little kids usually we will use English songs but we are
teaching them the Chinese lyrics.
So it’s easy for them to start because they know the music.
They just need to translate into Chinese words. «She adds that not only does it work, but it is fun for the kids.
So, I think they are really having fun learning Chinese songs using English
music.
Sometimes, I think if I were taught English like that way maybe I would speak
much better English than now.»

Traduction des paroles
Ils ont fait le meilleur dans quatre des cinq tests.
Ils ont également effectué deux fois mieux que ceux qui ont simplement appris les mots par
en parlant d'eux.
Dr.
Katie Overy a supervisé l'étude À La Reid School of Music de l'Université.
Elle dit que le chant pourrait mener à de nouvelles façons d'apprendre une langue étrangère.
Le cerveau, semble-t-il, aime se souvenir des choses quand elles sont contenues dans un
accrocheur, ou mémorable, tune.
Dr.
Overy a travaillé avec le Dr.
Karen Ludke et le professeur Fernanda Ferreira sur cette étude.
Leurs conclusions sont publiées dans la revue
Mémoire et Cognition.
Dr.
Ludke a déclaré que les résultats pourraient aider ceux qui luttent pour apprendre à l'étranger
langue.
Sur le site de L'Université D'Édimbourg Dr.
Ludke écrit « " cette étude fournit la première preuve expérimentale qu'une écoute et une répétition
chant méthode peut soutenir l'apprentissage des langues étrangères, et ouvre la porte pour
la recherche future dans ce domaine.»
Les professeurs de langues savent utiliser des œuvres musicales
Les professeurs de langues connaissent déjà la valeur de l'utilisation de la musique et du chant.
Un professeur dans une école de langue chinoise à Washington, Ré.
repose fortement sur les chansons et les chants pour enseigner le Chinois.
Hua Zhu Ying enseigne aux étudiants qui n'ont probablement jamais parlé Chinois auparavant
venir à l'école.
Ms.
Hua dit qu'elle utilise la musique tout le temps pour enseigner aux enfants chinois.
Par exemple, pour les petits enfants, nous utiliserons généralement des chansons anglaises, mais nous le sommes
leur enseigner les paroles chinoises.
Il est donc facile pour eux de commencer parce qu'ils connaissent la musique.
Ils ont juste besoin de traduire en mots chinois. «Elle ajoute que non seulement ça fonctionne, mais c'est amusant pour les enfants.
Donc, je pense qu'ils s'amusent vraiment à apprendre des chansons chinoises en utilisant l'anglais
musical.
Parfois, je pense que si on m'enseignait l'anglais comme ça, je parlerais peut-être
beaucoup mieux anglais que maintenant.»
