الملخص EN

Language teachers usually strive to boost up learning conditions through creating comfort, avoiding barriers, motivating learners, and thus making teaching more effective.

yet, learners are often unmotivated and fail to express themselves thoroughly.

music seems to envelop potential interpretations, owing to its prosperous assets that can straightforwardly be incorporated into elf classrooms.

in this respect, songs are a very supportive component to the process of teaching-learning English.

accordingly, the purpose of the present study is to investigate the effect of songs on elf learners’ speaking fluency and motivation level.

the results of this study reveal that both teachers and learners hold positive perceptions towards the integration of songs.

lyrics are no doubt an added value to the teaching-learning process.

they can be very effective in boosting learners’ motivation and speaking fluency.
