Singing in English (English Karaoke):

English pronunciation is much more complicated to learn the pronunciation of Spanish, so for example the vowels in English can have what we call "long" or sounds "short" sounds. When a vowel is a "long" sound, the vowel "says his name" (pronounced like the name of the letter), so this practice helps a lot in the pronunciation of students, phonics is important in the development of language to identify words, verbal contractions, to identify main ideas of what is unfolding.
