Music of English

 

Music of English

 How to learn and have fun at the same time? 

 


One of the reasons why I love teaching English is that it gives me an excuse to listen to lots of awesome music and make playlists, like the one I am going to share with you. 

I strongly believe that music has a strong role in learning a language. From singing nursery rhymes with three year olds to analysing verb tenses in songs with advanced learners, it is always there.

I started out by picking artists that have a distinct British accent or subject matter in the song, then I also added a few just because they're cool. :)

You can listen to the songs passively as you work, study or do your chores. 

Or, you can take one or two songs and look at them in more detail. 

Type the title and artist into a search engine to find the lyrics and read (or sing) along before taking some time to check any new grammar, vocabulary or phrases with the search engine.

However you choose to use the music I'm sure there's plenty of it to keep you busy.

So, here is the first song:

OASIS "Wonderwall"
