The purpose of this study demonstrates how social media enables mainstream English songs to be extended into the classroom as teaching material for learning English as a second language. Students thrive under such fun conditions and enjoyable activities, improving their listening skills and bettering their control of the English language by learning common, everyday phrases most useful for modern day English communication. The teaching procedure, approach and course of events during the learning activity is described. Researchers such as Berk (2009) emphasize the use of video clips from TV movies, YouTube, and mtvU in the classroom as a systematic teaching tool to improve learning in college courses. Similarly, this paper would like to advance the idea that learning English mainstream songs can be a ubiquitous form of learning since the involvement of technology is omnipresent, and the ease of implementing it into the classroom is readily attainable.
