Unlocking the Power of AI-Generated Music: A New Approach to Boosting English Vocabulary Learning
Lingling LIU
ABSTRACT:
The potential of music to activate the brain and enhance learning is widely recognized, yet its application in English education remains underexplored. Popular songs often contain grammatical errors, which can mislead students, and creating educational songs requires specialized knowledge, posing challenges for teachers. AI music generation technology offers a convenient solution by tailoring songs for educational purposes. This study investigated the effectiveness of AI-generated English songs in vocabulary instruction through a two-week experiment involving 24 university students in China, divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group used AI-generated English songs, while the control group followed traditional methods. Results indicated significant improvements in vocabulary retention and comprehension in the experimental group, with more stable and durable learning outcomes compared to the control group. The study confirms the potential of AI-generated songs to enhance English vocabulary learning, particularly by increasing student engagement and motivation. These findings suggest that AI-generated music could complement traditional language learning methods, leading to more effective and enjoyable educational experiences. Further research with larger samples and in diverse contexts is recommended to fully realize AI’s benefits in language education and explore its broader applications.
