摘要：This study sought to investigate how different types of the pedagogical songs i.e.Grammar-based or vocabulary-based songs affect the oral fluency of Iranian junior high schoolstudents. To this end, 40 students from a same junior high school in Isfahan were randomlychosen to serve as the participants of the study, they were then divided into two groups (classes);One experimental (EG) and one control group (CG). In the EG after teaching each unit of thebook, a related song from the book Song For Third Graders was practiced with the students.Before starting the research a pre-test was taken and three raters scored the participant‟s oralfluency. After the treatment phase (three months) the participants subsequently sat for a post-testand the same raters scored their oral fluency (the pre-test and the post-test scoring wasaccording to Oral Proficiency Scoring Categories (Brown, 2001)). The statistical resultsindicated that a meaningful difference was spotted between the groups; accordingly, it can beclaimed that teaching grammar or vocabulary through songs brought about considerableimprovement in the oral fluency. The result of this study can be beneficial for all the teachers ofschools and institutes.
