Abstract:	Nowadays, Students have great pressure on their shoulders to get high scores in their studies, especially in English. It is very urgent to release their burden and make their English learning more enjoyable. The Ministry of Education has encouraged colleges to set plans for students to learn English songs during their study. However, a practical method of teaching and learning English songs has not yet been found. In this electronic age, knowledge and information is everywhere and can be accessed anytime, all the time. The purpose of this study is to enrich our Inner life in English teaching and learning using English songs on the internet. Singing is the language of the heart. It can make us happy and look the bright side of life. It can also comfort us while we are down. All of us have potential in learning and singing English songs. Karaoke is a fun, easy way to sing along to your favorite musical arrangements. Once you know the words to a song, you can sing them along with the music. This will help you to add some inflection to your speech patterns, as well as adjust the rate you normally speak at. Practicing karaoke songs will also give you a broad introduction to the type of music that is popular in English-speaking cultures. There are a lot of English karaoke for us to choose through internet. The preliminary results from this study show that some students not only can learn English songs very effectively, but they also improved their English and broadened their global view through this learning process. As a result, their English learning became more enjoyable and meaningful.
