Rhymes have an important function in teaching English as a foreign language in primary schools. Almost incidentally the children become familiar with parts of the foreign culture and see them as enrichment for their own life. Rhymes sometimes are good attractors that can draw back learner’s attention to ensure a smooth running class. We know from our experience that children love English rhymes. All teachers should see this big advantage and use rhymes as a permanent part of their English lessons.
