using songs in the esl classroom

It's great to use songs in the class, if only to do something a little different. But beyond using them solely to give your students some 'light relief', there are many other ways songs can be used in ESL classrooms to consolidate what students have already learnt.

Have a song to request? Go to our contact page.

if you know what you're looking for

Quick Jump to:

We also have a separate section for children's songs.
Here are some ideas for the use of songs in the ESL class:

Filling in the blanks

Songs are often used in this way in the ESL classroom. You can carefully choose which words to blank out depending on what lexical area you want your students to work on.

Listening Comprehension

Instead of doing your usual listening comprehension out of the course books, do a song instead. Get your students thinking about the subject and do any pre-teaching of vocabulary as necessary. As with standard listening comprehension, there are a variety of exercises that you can do with songs: true or false, matching exercises, open comprehension questions, etc.

Phonetics

You can use a song with a clear rhyme pattern to do some phonetics work on particular phonemes.

Strips of Paper

The lyrics you will find on this site can be cut up into strips which then need to be reconstructed as the song unfolds. Alternatively, each student is given a strip to memorise beforehand and the students then work among themselves to 'physically' rebuild the song.

Vocabulary

Some songs lend themselves well to vocabulary work. When possible, I have noted on the menu pages when vocabulary exercises are possible.
Idea from Sarah, Toronto:
I like to have students listen first without the lyrics. I ask them to write down all words and phrases that they hear and share them with the class. Then we listen again with the lyrics and go over vocab. It is interesting to provide lyrics with several small mistakes and have students see if they can hear where they are.

With some of the songs, I have included a couple of suggestions as to how they can be used but everyone will find something different in each song worth doing. Of course, you can always just do the songs with your students for the sheer pleasure of it...

requests

Do you have any requests for songs that you would like to see on this page? Do you have any ideas for how the songs that are already here could be best used in the class? Are there any songs here that simply don't work in the class. We would appreciate some feedback on this area of the site as we would then better be able to make it relevant for the other ESL teachers. You can even post us lyrics directly for a song you would like to see on the site.

A comic strip about going to the park where each picture is a picture of something other than the park. It allows students to identify what's in the picture and why it is different from a park. By the end of the comic strip story, the characters finally make it to the park. The students are able to identify the components of a park they would like to visit in their area afterwards.

are great!
Listening is the one of the most difficult activities for students.
Life talks and lessons with British teachers is very helpful for me.Pronounciation and new modern vocabulary give  us the fresh look to english language.Besides, listening up to date news and different topics in  life english are more effective i think in the language studying. The difficulty is to balance the new and base information, because if students dont understand more than 70% of what they are listening to- they lose the interest.

| Song to teach vocabulary through listening
|  It’s for kids aged 3-6
|  It’s helpful to teach opposites, it’s very visual and colorful.
|  The rhythm is slow, kids might get bored.
|  It is useful because kids can sing, see and use their bodies to learn and remember the vocabulary.

Possible disadvantages:
No visuals that video shot version of the same website has. These can aid understanding through setting and body language.

For Intermediate Adult learners.
It's good because the content is applicable to adults. To teach the different uses of "can I" the teacher uses an example of asking a father's permission to marry his daughter. Something that children wouldn't be able to relate to as easily.
Disadvantages...It doesn't have a variety of interesting visuals. Could be more engaging.

Each student after explaining the time system, numbers and different times of the day, make sentences on the board first, then each student with the flash card he has, writes in his notebook his daily activities, such as being, I get up to At 7 am, I take a shower at 7.30 am etc.
Then the teacher asks each student to talk about their activities of the day, according to the flash card that I touch and expresses the time that the teacher asks.

What’s good about it? Easy to use and is accessible via cell phone so students can study class materials on the go. Quizzes can be made by 1 person and shared with multiple so it saves time.

Possible disadvantages: Practices memory and does not provide opportunities for students to use words practically such as it would if students were completing a writing exercise or skit assignment.

Students will be able to listen to a short but complete weather forecast for Europe.

During the listening, the learners will be asked to answer some questions about the information received, and then share it and talk about the characteristics of the weather in Europe and the changes which have affected it in recent years, focusing on their personal experience.

Activity: Speaking and Listening
Learner: Adults
What's good about it? I would choose a listening exerpt about nature or history, such as the 'Chernobyl Rembered' activity.
This would help them learn essential speaking and listening skills as well as pronunciation.
It may also be an interesting topic/conversation,  as it is an event in history that is very well known, which can create questions such as, discussing in pairs about the impact of the event since, or using comprehensive questions/worksheets to check students understood clearly.

Possible Disadvantages: This would not be good for children or even some adults, as it could be seen as too boring and unengaging.

Would you recommend it, why/why not? I would recommend this activity, as it develops learners skills and could be an interesting topic to discuss.

What´s good about it? This resource helps students to practise listening and writing at the same time (dictation).
Possible disadvantages: It is not very simple to understand how we should use the website at the beginning.
Would you recommend it? Yes, definitely.
Why? Because it provides good dictation exercises for learners of any level. Besides listening and writing, it helps them with grammar, too

This is a brilliant website for teaching English especially for intermediate and above levels. I would have my students read the article and translate it using their dictionaries and then listen to the recording for more than one time.
This resource helps me improve my student's vocabulary and listening and it gives my a good chance to have the students speak about the article and give their opinions and what they think in a good and valuable discussion.

# data[].attributes.body
I could use these short downloads with subtitles for the students at intermediate level.

They are useful for  students to improve their listening, reading and pronunciation skills..

I'd recommend them, because the presenters try to analyze the current popular issues all over the world and they are very fruitful for brainstorming as well.

At the end of every download  the new words are repeated ones again  to help the students to create independent conversation about the topic later on...

Type of activity: reading, speaking, listening
Kind of learner: adults, different levels are available
What's good about it is that it contains lots of different activities related to a news article. Students can read the article, answer questions, do some grammar and vocabulary, and also talk/exchange about the article and its related topic. They can play role games in debates.
A possible disadvantage might be that not all students might be interested in the same article/topic, and some could be less motivated. There should be more grammar and listening done too.
I would recommend this resource, because it offers a lot of variety and many activities, for all levels.

My students (Grade 12) and I really like Ted talks and this one happens to be for esl students, but.....it hasn't been updated since July 2014.
So.....I'm really enthusiastic about trying  listen and write. They have podcasts to listen to about topics of their interest and thenI can have the students write a summary about what they understood.
This way, we'll be working in listening and writing. We could incorporate reading by having some of the summaries read aloud to the class and speaking with answering questions, by the teacher or by the students.

Good practice of American sounds for intermediate learners

# data[].attributes.body
From http://rachelsenglish.com/contractversation-going-date/

This video is one of wonderful videos which made me realized that I really need to learn how real American people sound, otherwise, I can't catch their sounds. So, this is mainly for listening practice, but learners can try making sounds like Americans. In my opinion, it helps learners to learn more rules of it.

I know that this is obviously very broad, but I think that video websites such as Youtube are INCREDIBLY helpful. You can always find a video related to what you are discussing in the classroom. If you are learning about animals, why not find an awesome video of a gorilla at a zoo? If you are learning about the government, why not watch a clip of presidential speech? Students can also discuss these after watching in order to help also engage their generative language skills.

i like https://quizlet.com/216446841/paraphrasing-sweet-home-flash-cards/ posted by Nazgul Omarova. It is a game activity of mix-n-match study set on different words related to HOME. It is for beginners or intermediate students and simple enough to follow.   The students can learn and understand the home vocabulary, meanings, pronunciations, practise forming sentences. The only disadvantage i can see is that the students may get stressed trying to match the words as there is a timer at the side and ignoring that is  a mighty task in itself. :)

It's really a good resource for comparisons and a Main aim:speaking /sub aim: writing activity for creating new vehicles. It doesn't involve much talk. The invention itself is to be focused on. Even teens would enjoy such a topic

| Name of resource |  http://www.esl-lab.com/ | Type of activity  |  conversations with children's and adult's voices mainly focuses on listening and language
| What kind of learner is it for? | different levels of adult learners
| What’s good about it? |  It provides a teacher different topics and types of activities for all levels. Although it mainly focuses on listening skills, we can get our students practice speaking with pre listening activity, expose them with grammar or vocabulary exercises in section 3 and students can practice their reading through online investigations section. Furthermore, if a teacher wishes, he/she can ask his learners to do a writing activity based on their post learning exercises or using the data or ideas they get from online investigations. Most aspects of the lessons there look really helpful for teachers while preparing a lesson and fruitful for learners.
| Possible disadvantages | Since exercises are mostly designed for listening skills, teachers need to adjust the listening exercises provided there to be able to practice other skills according to their class profiles.
| Would you recommend it? Why/Why not? |  Yes. The lessons designed there are appropriate with respective levels of learners. Teachers can get a variety of topics according to the learner’s interests.

Cooking with Charlie (video)
the activity could be for teens.
It is great to practise listenig. On the other hand it could be hard for some students, but maybe we can provide them the transcript.
I would recommend it because then you can tell the students to record their own recipe and enjoy what they have learnt.

Reading activity, can lead into writing, speaking or even listening. It is good because there is lots of scope for questions and discussions. With experienced readers/writers could be used as homework and the discussion from it used to start the next class. There are exercises to suit different levels of learners and the material can be adapted to your lesson aims. New, topical information. Possible disadvantages include that it would be too hard for homework for beginners, I think. Some learners don´t like to do much reading and writing. The discussions could lead to arguments in class! I´d enjoy using this material but would have to see how the learners felt about it.

1. Type of avctivity. This activity involves all communication skills and the topic is vacation plans. I think it is a useful activity, which requires them to listen to a brief conversation, fill the gaps, answer questions and then talk about the topic, giving their opinions and impressions, moreover there is the explanation for 2 idioms used in the recording.
2. Kind of learners. I suppose this activity suit best young learners.
3. Possible disadvantages. Probably the only disadvantage is the fact that the quality of the recording is not very high so learners have to struggle a little more

TED Talks can be used with higher levels. They get the opportunity to watch the video of a specific topic which is up to date and concerning our every day lives as well as triggering their critical thinking.

TED Talks provide all the different parts an advanced student should practise such as reading comprehension, grammar and vocabulary, listening and speaking and at the same time it is a way to enrich their knowledge about a specific topic they knew nothing about it before.

Moreover, students can watch the video and the whole class can have a discussion. The teacher can ask them questions to see what they understand or they can share something they already know about the topic or even emphasise on a specific information mentioned in the talk. Then, the rest of the students can express their opinions as well.

# data[].attributes.body
TEDxESL used TEDTalks in lessons for ESL learning.

The listening exercises can be used at advanced, proficiency, and upper-intermediate levels. Questions let students practice grammar, build vocabulary, and test their comprehension. Each one provides the opportunity to think in English with debate questions as well.

Ironically, one talk, Patricia Ryan's "Don't Insist on English," raises the question of whether thinking in English is necessary. She also asks whether English should be the universal language. I also sampled talks on social media and news.

The bites of TEDxESL are about 10 minutes long, which means they can be used flexibly in a class, and the material is often topical enough to hold students' attention.

One would have to get a sense over time of what topics interest students and avoid controversial subjects.  However, the emphasis on ideas rather than daily news may be advantageous; popular talks could be used with future classes.

I like this resource because it is good way to get your students to practice their listening, speaking, reading and writing all in one... listening to the music, reading the lyric, speaking while they are singing and writing while they are completing the lyric

# data[].attributes.body
Type of activity: this is a game that involves listening to a song and writing down lyrics heard.

What kind of learner is it for?: The game has different levels so depending on the song, any learner can use it.

What's good about it?: It's an interactive game with visuals that can elicit enthusiasm from learners. They can practice both listening and writing. There is the option of rewinding or pausing when needed.

Possible disadvantages:
Sometimes it's difficult to understand singing because of different styles and beginners may have a hard time with spelling.

Would you recommend it? Why or why not?: Yes! Learners can immerse themselves in music while practicing English. There are so many videos to choose from and lyrics are not usually as complicated as some reading materials so learners can have fun while getting a melodic confidence boost.

this resourced was brought up in class by one of my students and we have been using it now and then and they have enjoyed it. This activity works reading, listening and writing and later on you can use the words or the song to explain some grammar topic or start a discussion on the video or song
Learners vary for there are different levels of difficulty, yet i feel that if the song is new to them, we are talking upper-intermediate upwards.
It's a Pc interactive tool which engages young students and older ones alike.
Some students get a bit stressed the first time they use it so it's good to show them how it works first
Would you recommend it? Why/Why not?
