An English song has emerged as an effective tool for teaching English to elementary school students. While the effectiveness of text-based teaching of English songs has its limitations, the Internet with its audio and visual capabilities is a perfect tool for teaching rhymes and songs. As an experimental study, this study examines the effects of two different ways to teach Internet-based English songs on students' memorizing ability of vocabulary and the words of songs, and their interest in learning English songs. For this study, two classes were randomly selected from 3rd year classes in one elementary school. The experimental group was taught with songs with Korean subtitles on the screen and the control group was taught songs with English subtitles, but without Korean subtitles. The results of the study are as follows: The experimental group and control group initially showed little difference but as the weeks passed and as more difficult songs were taught, the experimental group showed higher interest in learning songs than the control group. Also, in later experimental period when more difficult songs were taught, the experimental group performed better than the control group in English vocabulary tests and showed better ability of memorizing the words of songs. It is believed that this study shows one practical way of teaching English songs with web-based materials and Korean subtitles.
