Teaching and Learning English Phrasal Verbs Using Song Lyrics to Improve Communicative Competence

Resumen

This article discusses the important role of phraseological verbs in language learning. To
develop good communication, students need to understand the language. Then, in order to
learn and understand the language, students need to master vocabulary. Learning a new
dictionary or phraseological verb is not easy. As phrasal verbs are common to all forms of
verbs. In addition, English phraseological verbs can be transitive and intransitive. It should
also be taken into account, that the same phrasal verb can be easily transitive in on sense and
unchanged in others. Based on the problem mentioned above, it has been proven that students
still have difficulty in understanding and learning vocabulary, especially phraseological
verbs. This highlights the importance of multimedia technologies and strategies that can be
used in teaching and learning. One of the most effective strategies a teacher can use is to use
song lyrics to support this learning process.
