This study was an attempt to investigate the effectiveness of Lyrics training in providing opportunities for learners to improve their speaking and listening accuracy and with this purpose evaluate the effectiveness of this app against a traditional method. For this purpose, 147 students of three institutions were divided in two groups corresponding to 8th and 9th levels (SDB and RCE institutions), equivalent to the first and second year of secondary education. In addition, two groups of university students (TUC) taking the first level of English as a foreign language were included with three different teachers. This study employed a quantitative approach to explore the effectiveness of "Lyrics Training" as an educational tool in improving listening and speaking skills in students. Using a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design, data were collected before and after the educational intervention.This website program had a statistically significant effect on the language skills of the participants. The consistency of improvements in comprehension, language skills, pronunciation and content understanding suggest that the intervention was comprehensive and effectively addressed all key aspects of language learning. It provides convincing evidence of the effectiveness of the methods used and can serve as a model for similar training resourcefulness.
