Abstract: Teaching grammar to middle school students often presents challenges due to its abstract nature and reliance on rote learning. This study explores how songs, jingles, and limericks can be used as joyful, creative tools to teach grammar effectively. Conducted with 159 learners from Classes 6 to 8 at GHS Mansoorwal Dona, Punjab, the study compares traditional methods with musical-rhythmic techniques for grammar instruction. Results reveal a significant improvement in learner engagement, retention, and comprehension. The paper argues that melodic grammar tools, when contextualized and localized, can transform classroom experiences and bridge linguistic gaps in multilingual settings......

Abstract: In a society different from the previous ones, where the presence of technological tools is widespread, and with the new generations that have a new way of learning, it is necessary to understand the functional way of doing education.

Teaching in the digital age means operating in an educational context in which digital technologies must be integrated into teaching processes, where the book and the teacher are no longer the only source of knowledge. It becomes essential that teachers teach students to use digital technologies......
