English Language adopted the "rhythmic technique" to cultivate and enhance mastery of the second language among preschool children. This rhythmic technique such as jazz chant, nursery rhyme, singing and dancing could broaden the domain of development in the learning and facilitating, or teaching and learning process. In addition, pre-literacy in English Language consisted of four main components relating to children's sensory and auditory skills which are listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills, integrated in this technique. Thirty preschoolers participated in this study who underwent several tests on preliteracy skills after rhythmic techniques were introduced to them. This paper discusses the procedures of intervention method and the scores obtained by the children through five bases or questions (from Q1 to Q5). The results or scores recorded by teachers/researchers on children (K21-K30) show that on average children have improved their skills. These findings are parallel to the previous observations that children tend to master the new vocabulary when emphasis was given to the phrase during rhythmic techniques on induction sets, developments and even plenary. Furthermore, it was hoped that this technique would be a tool for teachers in improving existing teaching processes; for researchers to further enhance the techniques. This study was however limited to the beginning of the implementation and would need further in-depth studies in the future to ensure the optimal growth of English vocabulary mastery in preschools.

“…Studies were also conducted on the effects of background music in structured play and therapy sessions. Schwartzberg & Silverman (2014) and Preis et al (2016) studied the types of background music utilised in the sessions. The studies found that frequencies of speaking (saying words or sentences) and conversations (talking with elements of turn-taking) increased with all types of music.…”

There has been much research on the benefits of music for children with autism. The domains benefitting most from the use of music are social and communications skills. The Sounds of Intent (SoI) Framework, has been developed by Ockelford and his colleagues to promote musical abilities amongst individuals with complex needs, including autism. Underpinned by the zygonic theory, studies employed SoI also indicate increased levels of engagement among individuals with complex needs, including autism. This paper aims to provide a summary on the development of the SoI framework particularly on autistic children. Additionally, this paper includes a review of other relevant past studies on the benefits of music for children with autism on their social and communication skills. After examining the positive effects of the SoI Framework and other related past studies, the researchers intend to embark on a study using the proactive domain of the SoI framework at an autism centre in Malaysia. The researchers will employ a case study design to observe levels of musical engagement, gauge the consistency of engagement, observe the levels of prompting provided by teachers and observe challenges faced in implementing the SoI in a Malaysian special needs classroom. It is hoped that the findings could indicate that SoI would benefit children with autism, their parents and special educators and add value to existing literature on the SoI framework. Hence, the findings of this study could serve as a springboard for SoI use in Malaysia.
