Music and songs are part of the lives of all. They bring a lot of knowledge about the culture and identity from which they were produced, as a cultural phenomenon. They influence the emotional domain of the lives of individuals and give their minds a deeper insight (Vishnevskaia and Zhou, 2019). This paper desires to explore the influence of music and educational songs on EFL students' achievement from their teachers' perspective in the Jenin region. The research has been designed to probe the role of songs in teaching English to EFL students. Literary research on songs has helped to highlight the importance of Educational songs in teaching EFL students. In this respect, the researchers adopt a mixed-method (qualitative and quantitative). Likewise, data was collected through a questionnaire administered to English teachers and interviews of ten English teachers. The findings analysis shows that music and educational songs are barely used to develop learners’ language skills. The ongoing research work suggests that EFL teachers should be trained on the effective use of educational songs and music in English classes. Moreover, schools and curriculum should be provided with educational songs teaching materials.

Michael Hart spent 28 years writing a book called The Hundred Greats and after he finished writing it, he announced in his lecture in London about the greatest personality in history, and the audience whistled at him and interrupted him with protest and screaming so that his speech would not be completed... saying: [The man stopped in a small village, which is Mecca. He said to the people in it: I am the Messenger of God to you... I came to perfect your morals. So he believed with him four. His wife, a friend, and two children! Now, after 1400 years, the number of Muslims has exceeded one and a half billion, and every day it is increasing. It cannot be a liar because no lie lives 1400 years. No one can ever deceive more than a billion and a half people. There is one more thing. Despite the passage of this long time, there are millions of Muslims who are ready to sacrifice themselves for the sake of a word that affects their Prophet. He is the greatest character in history(Hart,1978). furthermore, educational drama exists in Islam and our prophet Muhammad PBUH used the Drama and its techniques such as acting, Role-play, Mime, Simulations, practice, repeat things, and story-telling and all of these methods and techniques related to Drama.
Conversation through animation strategies has been proven to enhance the speaking skills of 7th graders in Palestine. As a result, students learn in an engaging and interactive environment, while also developing their self-confidence to speak in the English language. The use of animation in language teaching can provide a visual representation of language that makes the learning process more enjoyable and easier to understand. Thus, students learn in an engaging and interactive environment while also developing their English proficiency. As a result, reallife communication abilities can be enhanced. In this study, a qualitative method was used, with 20 students using animation to learn English as a second language. Students were interviewed by the researchers for this study, and the results showed that conversation through animation is effective in developing speaking skills. Based on interviews with 20 students, it seems that they have a positive perception of the animation method for learning speaking skills.
