"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.

American High School Cliques
This is a worksheet for intermediate-level students. I taught a thematic unit about American high school life (in contrast to Korean high school life). It is based on the stereotypes of cliques in American high schools. My students had a better understanding of different kinds of students after doing this worksheet.

Beatles: Hello, Goodbye
This is a worksheet for the song "Hello, Goodbye" by the Beatles. I used to share culture of the 1960s and introduce great rock bands. The song is very easy to understand and great to incorporate greetings in English. Enjoy!

Britney Spears - 3
The content of this song is a bit controversial, but I cannot stop my students from singing it! I made two different worksheets to Britney Spears� song "Three". The first page is for lower level and has the lyrics for students to fill in. The second page is for higher-level students with no lyrics. Higher-level has to listen carefully and fill ...

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!
