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!

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...

What�s Going On
My students listened to the "All Star Tribute" (MTV version on youtube) of "What�s Going On" to discuss the 1960s and the Civil Rights Movement. They enjoyed the song very much, especially because it helped them understand what people like Martlin Luther King, Jr. were thinking during that time. It can also be related to the Vietnam War.

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!

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!

"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.

I played a youtube video with English lyrics for students to check t...
