The FunSongs Method

The FunSongs Method

The FunSongs Method brings language to life with action songs that children sing and act at the same time. It is inspired by Total Physical Response (TPR) and Suggestopedia, and it also reflects Howard Gardner’s idea of multiple intelligences, because it connects sound, movement, images and emotions in every lesson. By using TPR techniques, FunSongs actively involves bodily‑kinesthetic intelligence, so learners use their whole body to understand and fix new language in their memory. When several intelligences work together, learning becomes stronger, faster and more permanent.

Teaching action videos

FunSongs provides complete teaching action videos for subscribers. They help you learn the song and the gestures quickly before presenting them in class.

Strong melodies, strong learning

In FunSongs, every song is specially written to be both pedagogical and musically “catchy”. Founder and composer Charles Goodger has written original songs for international artists such as Al Bano Carrisi and opera star Marina Rebeka, and he brings the same professional care to every FunSongs tune. When a melody is attractive and easy to sing, children repeat it naturally, and the language stays in their memory.

Why action songs work for language learning

Learning a new language with action songs offers many concrete benefits. The combination of music and movement leads to clearer pronunciation, better intonation and long‑term retention of vocabulary and chunks. Neuroscience and classroom research show that children learn more effectively when they are relaxed, active and having fun, so song‑based lessons help them feel confident and motivated to use English. As many teachers say after trying FunSongs in class: when children move, sing and smile together, good learning naturally follows.
