Songs have a significant role in linguistic culture and are used as audio resources for teaching Turkish to non-native speakers.  Thus, the transfer of cultural elements speeds up the process of acquiring a language.  Given this perspective, teaching Turkish as a foreign language requires incorporating cultural elements into the classroom setting.  Songs are one of the tools used to teach students about the culture they are studying.  The educational advantages of incorporating Turkish music into foreign language training are examined in this essay. It examines how diverse musical elements, from rhythm and melody to lyrics and cultural context, can enhance various aspects of language acquisition, including pronunciation, vocabulary acquisition, grammatical understanding, and cultural immersion. The article also discusses practical applications and potential limitations of using music in the Turkish language classroom.
