Like many teachers of the English language (ELL, ESL, EFL), I like to enrich my lessons with popular songs. On this site, you’ll find:* A list of
hundreds of classroom-friendly songs, organized by theme, along with links to recommended YouTube videos * Song-based activities* Lesson plan ideas
for songs
in two categories: Recent Hits and Classic Hits* A Grammar + Songs
page with worksheets and songs to pair with specific grammar topics* Stories
behind the songs, written at the beginning to low-intermediate levels. Some stories are on this site, and some are on the Pearson catalogsite
(audio only), no registration or password required. The songs and activities coordinate with the lessons in _TRUE STORIESBEHIND THE SONGS_
(a
beginning reading textbook) and _MORE TRUE STORIES BEHIND THESONGS _
(a
high-beginning reading textbook), but they would work with other materials and curricula as well.GETTING UPDATES:

***OCTOBER 2019***
When I first started bringing music videos into my classroom a couple of years ago, I discovered pretty quickly the necessity of carefully previewing them. Sometimes the song was appropriate for the classroom, but its music video was not. I had some time over the summer, so I updated the List of Songs by Theme and added dozens of links to classroom-friendly videos. 10/1/19 ***SEPTEMBER 2019*** WORKSHEET, PRESENT PERFECT PROGRESSIVE TENSE. I noticed that the students in my advanced class were using the present perfect progressive tense interchangeably with the present perfect tense. So we did an activity with lots of examples of the present perfect progressive tense being used when the speaker wants to emphasize the duration of an activity that began in the past and continues into the present. I posted it on the Grammar + Songs page. Goes well with OneRepublic’s song “Counting Stars.” 9/19/19 LINK TO VIDEO. This new performance of the Beatles song “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” from the 2019 movie _Yesterday_, has lots of instances of “want to” being pronounced “wanna”—a pronunciation rarely included in grammar books or practiced in the classroom, but common in spoken English. An interactive activity that gives students practice using “wanna” is on the Grammar + Songspage. 9/8/19
