EDUCATION IN POPULAR CULTURE
Popular culture can be defined as the inclination towards the use of hip pop culture and its accompanying Language, Mostly by young people because most young people actually feel cool with themselves when they use popular Culture Language
Some writers have argued that popular culture is a distraction to the learning process , especially considering the fact that sometimes it involes use of obscence, improper and vague Language , however other porpular writers have argued and have actually exhibited that there is indeed a positive side of popular culture , it is observed that if someone is in love with hip hop Language then you can as well use his or her niche as a powerful tool for teaching , especially in drawing the interest of such a person and also in facilitating the remembrance process.
Popular culture mostly involves singing and it has been observed with regard to singing, that toddlers when being thought with music tend to grab or understand their teacher better E.g almost every one learnt the English Alphabet ABC through it singing out, During the toddler days. In the same manner popular culture can be used for learning through singing,
Writers like Tim Weedom has also Identified that in addition to the learning process,use of popular culture can also help to increase social skills and I absolutely concur in the sense that it is not all popular culture Language that contain trash and Junk, some of this may also contain meaningful words which can aid its user in daily social communication.
