Die Behandlung von Musikvideos im Englischunterricht bietet vielfache Möglichkeiten, die Sprachkompetenz der Schüler zu fördern.
Musikvideos gehören zu den audiovisuellen Medien und verknüpfen somit Bild und Ton. Dies führt zu einem leichteren Verständnis, da die Schüler Mimik und Gestik der Sänger verfolgen können. Außerdem wird dadurch ein situativer Kontext erzeugt.
Durch den Einsatz von Musikvideos wird ein wichtiger Beitrag zur Medienerziehung geleistet, da die Schüler lernen, kritisch mit Medien umzugehen. Im Alltag dienen Musikvideoclips meist nur zur Unterhaltung. Dabei lernen die Schüler aber nicht, die Botschaft dieses Mediums zu hinterfragen. Sie sollen folglich zur bewussten Rezeption von Musikvideoclips erzogen werden.
Ferner eignen sich Musikvideos gut zur Vermittlung landeskundlicher Informationen und interkultureller Gesichtspunkte. Sie stellen die Kultur des jeweiligen Landes oft in authentischer Weise dar, wodurch die Schüler einen guten Einblick in die englischsprachige Welt erhalten.
