Abstract

The students whose mother tongue belongs to Indo-European language family, and has very clearly discernible word stress structure, mastering phonological part of Chinese language is extremely difficult, not only because of tones, but also because of different vowels and consonants, articulation in both languages.     The main subject of interest in this report is what can help students who study Chinese language better master and improve phonological aspect of Mandarin.This research is a brand new in the teaching methodology for foreigners who are learning Chinese language.Given these facts singing class can have a huge contribution to the field in general, but it also can extremely be helpful in acquiring Mandarin. In conclusion Karaoke (singing) class is very important in each educational institution where Chinese language has been studied, each country, each university suppose to provide and establish musical-singing class during learning process, in the end it also will have students don't feel so stress and make them amuse and happy, we are all aware that mastering Chinese is a long process which need extra patience and assiduity compare to learning other languages.Hence the results we expect to receive may change the course of studying Chinese language in educational institutions all over the world! We assume that Karaoke class should be add as extra class to education process all over the world, which will help foreign students not just to be familiar with Chinese music world, but the most important to help them:

1. Clear understanding of rhythm that can help students who are studying Chinese to master phrase, interval (pause) of sound strength (intensity). 2. The elegant sense (feeling) of melody (melodic), elegant melodic feeling, can help foreigners to remember words, timbre of sentence, correct pitch (intonation), if comparing just to simple practice of spoken Chinese can improve memory.3. Lyrics are beautiful and have rhyme order.  Just rely on nice lyrics also can help students to forget just about grammar, but help forward word order to the brain activity in the same way better elaborate to built spoken sentence. 4. KTV (Karaoke) class also has others sights, like sad, happy joyful, chasing, pay tribute lyrics and so on, so while chatting can help to develop (completely understand) from lyrics pretty grammatically correct sentence and precise the state of mind.

In this way from one side students will be able not only acquire rhythm tone words and sentence structure but from another side learn new and constantly repeat already known characters, and also singing will help them better understand sentence structure and grammatical aspect of Chinese language.
