爱华网《英语课程标准》中指出：激发和培养学生学习英语的兴趣是中学英语教学的任务之一，教师在教学的过程中应该不断探索新的教学模式，想方设法以新颖的，丰富多彩的教学手段，激发学生学习英语的兴趣，让学生在说练学唱的轻松气氛中习得语言，并获得快乐，真正让学生体会到玩中学。英语chant以其丰富生动的语言、抑扬顿挫的语音语调、明快的节奏、以及隽永的韵味深受学生的喜爱。它既可以活跃课堂气氛还可以解决一些记忆上的难题。
Chant就是我们说的韵文，它的内容简单顺口，读起来朗朗上口的。节奏感也很强，很受学生喜欢语言学习里加入一些有节奏的内容，学起来感到松弛、愉快。从而使大脑皮层兴奋，使人产生兴奋的情绪，以此达到长时间记忆的目的。在教学中适当的使用chant，不仅可以丰富教学内容，增添学习兴趣，还可以促使学生在轻松的环境下熟记教学内容。同时，对培养学生的学习兴趣和行为习惯有着重要的辅助作用。因此在教学中，教师应恰当运用Chant，以有助于课堂效率的提高。以下是我搜集的一些chants,与大家一起分享。
