Abstract

This article analyzes the role of songs and rhymes in developing phonetic skills in teaching English. Using songs and rhymes at the initial stage helps improve pronunciation, intonation, and articulation. The study reveals that musical approaches enhance memory retention and make the learning process more engaging and effective. This method is considered a key tool in reinforcing phonetic skills and promoting speech development.
