Accidentally in Love - Counting Crows
This is not just a listening task - this is a reading task as well using a concert advertisment for Counting Crows. My students love this as it gives the task some authenticity. The listening task is not only a cloze passage but offers practice in editing, and listening for sequence. There are two links to you tube here so that you have a audio-vis...

Advertisement - Sports Bar
This is a speaking task as well - students need to present/pitch their advertisement to the rest of the class. This is great as a group work activity but is equally effective done individually. Included are marking rubrics for both speaking and writing sections.

Jonas Brothers reading no 2
My students enjoyed this reading as much as the first Jonas reading. It is little more difficult - it requires making inferences. It generated great class discussion (75 of my class are fans and the others the opposite) and students used the language to express opinions. It helps to read the text as a class and then for students to complete the que...
