Popular songs play an important role in the lives of children. In this study the author chooses seven popular songs and designs fourteen forty- minute classes to teach thirty-two 6th graders to enhance their popular song literacy in cognitive, emotional, aesthetic, and moral aspects. The participants are students of An-Chuan Elementary School (not a real name) in Taoyuan County. The findings are as follows: 1. On the cognitive aspect: Children show more understanding about the lyrics and MVs. They know that the images or lyrics are different from the real world, and recognize the cultural elements of popular songs and start to know the industry of popular songs. 2. On the emotional aspect: Students show high motivation toward this course, and they take the lyrics and MV images seriously. Their engagement is influenced by the familiarity of the theme, and they identify with school's idea of having the 6th graders choose their graduation song. 3. On the aesthetic aspect: Children like performing type MV, especially those with strong tempo and dance steps. MVs with dark and gray hue reduce children's desire to watch. 4. On the moral aspect: Students are more likely to pinpoint the improper lyrics and images on MV after the instruction. And they are able to build up more healthy and correct value. The follow-up interview after the instruction shows the findings valid. From the unit-teaching perspective, this study promotes the student's media literacy of popular songs. Yet since it is a case study, in the future, scholars can increase the number of participants or explore specific aspect of literacy in depth. |
