This study explores the benefits of leveraging music-generative AI (artificial intelligence) that adds melodies to sentences when teaching English as a foreign language, mainly when practicing reading aloud. To examine the effect of using this technology, we compared two experimental cases: one with ordinary oral readings without melodies and the other using sentences with added melodies with music-generative AI. The result of this experiment is that oral reading practices using melodies are more effective than oral reading without melodies. This result might not simply prove that adding melodies to sentences motivates students to repeat their learning activities of reading aloud because it was found that many students prefer famous songs over sentences that music-generative AI accompanies. However, it can be estimated that adjusting the melody production of music-generative AI could help create more appropriate songs that can motivate students to practice reading sentences aloud. This finding suggests that utilizing music-generative AI could aid in developing teaching materials for reading aloud and increase the motivation of students to repeat their learning practices through reading aloud.
