Jazz Chants are exercises when students repeat rhythmically words and short phrases to music. Jazz Chant is a rhythmic expression of natural language which links the rhythms of spoken American English to the rhythms of traditional American jazz.
The technique of jazz chanting was developed by Carolyn Graham during her twenty-five years of teaching ESL in the American Language Institute of New York University. Ms. Graham is the author of numerous Jazz Chants® books, all published by Oxford University Press.
Here's the example of how to improve your speaking skills using a jazz chant.
