Jazz chants are a technique developed by Carolyn Graham that combines rhythm and standard English to help students increase pronunciation skills, acquire vocabulary, and reinforce grammar through creative, fun chants. The chants use real, useful language and can be done individually or with a group to build confidence in speaking English while also developing rhythm and fluidity.
