Several recent studies have found out action songs help the pupils to improve their English language skills. The use of action songs is hoped to help the pupils to enjoy learning during English lessons and to help them to be more focused and active in the lessons. Findings from the reviewed revealed that songs particularly action songs can improve students’ English proficiency skills, motivation and attitude with regard to the use of songs in classroom and teachers’ and students’ perception of using songs. It shows that songs strengthen memory and recall, increase language skills and promote socials skills and cooperation.
