  • Anyone ever encountered strong student resistence to songs in class?
  • What do you think are the QUALITIES of a good song to use in the classroom? What do you consider when choosing songs?
  • Does anyone have any ‘story songs’ to suggest (i.e. songs with stories in them)? – they are usually great to use in class
  • We believe that slow songs can help students learn intonation, elision etc., but does it really?
  • I guess the very first thing is defining why you’re playing a song in class. Is it just for fun or is there a clear learning goal?
  • Any of your students think they are “bad” in English because they don’t understand the lyrics of songs in English?
  • Any success with songs from musicals?
  • Instrumental music can be a gr8 way to frame a guided visualisation. How else do you use music without words?
  • Anyone done any football songs in class?

WordSift - About - 0 views

  •  
    "WordSift was created to help teachers manage the demands of vocabulary and academic language in their text materials. We especially hope that this tool is helpful in supporting English Language Learners. We want WordSift to be a useful tool, but we also want it to be fun and visually pleasing. We would be happy if you think of it playfully - as a toy in a linguistic playground that is available to instantly capture and display the vocabulary structure of texts, and to help create an opportunity to talk and explore the richness and wonders of language!"
