Grammar, which is defined as a language's sound, structure, and meaning system, is essential for a student to acquire a language. Clear communication is impossible without competent grammar; but, in textbooks, grammar is frequently presented out of context with isolated sentences for practice, resulting in repetitive and pointless exercises. As teachers, we need to help learners see that effective communication involves achieving harmony between functional interpretation and formal appropriacy (Halliday 1985) by giving them tasks that dramatize the relationship between grammatical items and the discoursal contexts in which they occur.
Grammar points in textbooks should be contextualized to make grammar education entertaining and relaxing while still being effective and to provide a stress-free classroom environment for students. Jazz chants are one of the most compelling and culturally rich resources for helping your children speak more effectively, develop vocabulary, learn and reinforce grammar patterns in language learning.
They are invaluable resources for reinforcing grammar points as well as improving learners' listening, reading, and writing abilities. They also provide a motivating and non-threatening environment for students who are hesitant to speak English in a traditional classroom setting.
