Can singing pop songs help secondary school learners acquire multi-word units more effectively? This book answers that question through a rigorously designed quasi-experimental study involving approximately 250 students across four schools in North Rhine-Westphalia. Combining vocal training with authentic English pop songs, the intervention targets curriculum-aligned multi-word units while exploring learner well-being and involuntary musical imagery (INMI) as cognitive mechanisms supporting retention.

The study yields a validated 56-song corpus, a multidimensional assessment instrument, a five-phase lesson plan, and a comprehensive pedagogical toolkit ready for classroom use. Findings reveal moderate-to-large within-group learning gains and significantly enhanced well-being during instruction.

Situated at the intersection of music cognition, applied linguistics, and EFL pedagogy, Concert of Learning offers researchers, teachers, and curriculum designers an evidence-based framework for integrating music into language education.

Dr. Antonio Vivone is Researcher and Lecturer at the University of Toronto. He completed his doctorate through a joint program between the University of Toronto, Paderborn University, and the University of Music, Drama and Media Hannover. Drawing on a dual background in Music (B.Mus., M.Mus., Conservatorio Giuseppe Martucci, Salerno) and Education (B.Ed., University of Salerno; M.Ed., University Duisburg-Essen and Folkwang University of Arts), his research bridges music psychology and foreign language education. He previously taught English, Music, and Spanish at secondary schools in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany — experience that directly informed the intervention study presented in this book.
