Abstract
Many bright language learners think they are not. Learning a language requires the learners’ awareness about verbal, nonverbal and extraverbal layers, the whole within a specific context. That linguistic awareness extends beyond a simple textual or verbal single mode. It requires a multi-modal approach. In order to demonstrate the power of the multi-modal approach, a content analysis of Ceceli’s song “Es” was conducted. The focus of the content analysis was the nonverbal cues (1) and the visual elements in their extralinguistic context (2). The results show that the comprehensive approach to language learning/teaching -incorporating audio, visual, and contextual cues- can improve students FL learning especially when combined with poignant songs. Therefore, when real-world language exposure is lacking, fictional situations, such as those found in highly entertaining or poignant songs, can help fill the gap. However, that exposure should be frequent -preferably on a daily basis- for in terms of language learning, the mind hates days off.
Keywords: Extraverbal layer, foreign language learning, multi-modal language learning, Mustafa Ceceli’s song “Es”, nonverbal layer, visual elements.
