"Heartless" by Kanye West
I used this listening activity in a mixed-level English class. "Heartless" is a good song to teach ESL because the words are slow and it contains a lot of slang. I used this as an alternative to dictation, which my students hate. Also included are the song�s lyrics.

Iron Man 2 - Movie Trailer
I made this matching activity for the new "Iron Man 2" movie trailer. Students should put the quotes in the order that they hear them. Here is the youtube video I used: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siQgD9qOhRs. The English is very fast, so I had to pause and play it several times. Great activity for boys and/or teenagers!

Friends Introduction
I made this printable to introduce the cast of "Friends" to my high school students. Their level is low-intermediate, so this activity was very challenging. I recommend this introduction for upper-intermediate/advanced students. Students should fill in information while watching an episode of "Friends."

Lady Gaga - Just Dance
Students filled in the missing words while listening to Lady Gaga�s "Just Dance." My high school students love her. The song lyrics are very fast, so I recommend the handout for upper intermediate to advanced students.

Ke$ha - Tik Tok
I used Ke$ha�s song "Tik Tok" to review daily routine verbs (i.e. wake up, brush my teeth, try on clothes, etc.). Students listened to the song and filled in the missing verbs. To check their work, I showed a youtube video with the English lyrics. Some students had a hard time because the lyrics are fast. For lower-level students, I suggest mak...

Elvis: Jailhouse Rock
I used this to introduce the 1950s and rock-n-roll to students. It is a popular, fun song from Mr. Presley. My students enjoyed listening to Elvis and learning what "rock and roll" is. They also enjoyed the "jailbird" and "jailhouse" vocabulary. Enjoy!

Vocab Booklet - DIY
This is a vocabulary booklet I made to go along with a thematic unit. As students learn vocabulary, they write the word down, starting with a word that starts with "A". They then write the definition in English and draw a picture to retain what the word means. You can change the letters; I tried to use most of the alphabet. The cover page is th...
