What do you thinks about the benefits of teaching English songs in primary schools in Asian countries ?

Some Asian countries, particularly India, teach English as
a compulsory subject in primary schools also. In addition there are many schools in
which the entire education in school using the medium of English language. In such
situation all students have to learn learn English language. It is quite understandable
to include English poetry and songs as a part of teaching English language under some a
system. This will give the student better understanding and appreciation of English
language that they have to learn in any case.

However, I
see no point in teaching English songs to students who neither know nor are required to
learn English language. If, we are just talking about translations of English songs in
local languages, then inclusion or otherwise of any such translation should be based on
merit of such work, which has no relationship to the language of the original
work.
