Hi, good weekend to all of you!!
I need your help. I work �n a private English academy in Argentina. I have two adult courses.My students are between 30 and 65 years old an they �re ina elementary or pre-intermediate level.Our classes have a communicative approach and in the last class of the week, I choose an activity to end up the class in a funny and interesting way. They love to listen to songs in English. We watch the video of the song, and then the work on a worksheet I prepare with the lyrics and a fill in the gasp activity. The songs we �ve listened are: � Tears in Heaven � by Eric Clapton and �You �ll be in my heart � by Phil Collins. They loved them!!!! But I �m running out of ideas with the songs they may like them. Besides, they lyrics should be easy to understand as they �re beginners in the use of the language. Do you know any websites where I could get songs and the lyrics. I �m using these two sites:
This website is great to play with the class as they watched the video, listen to the lyrics and fill in the gaps. My classes love this site!!! :)
another site I use is :
But I love to know if there are other websites fore learning English with songs.
Besides, some of my students love �karaokes � ...are there English websites for these stuff????
Thank you a lot in advance for your replies!!!! My students and I are going to be very grateful to all of you!!!!
Regards!!!!! Jess

Hi
I �m a teacher too and I have classes like yours, I call them Ladies Group, they like music too, and I search for songs that are old, like ABBA, Elvis Presley and also Beatles etc. for example and you can try many ways to work with the songs, something I cut the strokes and they have to organize it, it �s different and easy too. By the way, I �m from Brazil who knows we can exchange ideas or letters between our group??? See you
If you �re interested add me on the facebook,we can call better (Wainy Valle it �s my name) |
