Here, the activity class is supposed to achieve this purpose. At the same time, we can see that the English songs play an important role in English teaching.At aboard, musical activities had made a great development in advance many years ago. In their foreign language teaching, the teacher pays more attention to arouse students interest by using some activity skills and to urge the students to be able to express their ideas courageously and to take part in the class activities actively by the guide of the teachers.
