Introduction

  Learning a new language can be a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be boring. Incorporating music into language learning can be a fun and effective way to improve language skills. Let’s explore the benefits of using songs in teaching English as a second language.

   First and foremost, music is a universal language that transcends cultural and linguistic barriers. It can be a powerful tool for ESL teachers to connect with their students and create a more engaging and immersive learning experience. Music can help students learn new vocabulary, practice grammar, and improve their pronunciation.

   Using songs in teaching English can also provide a context for the language being used. The lyrics of a song often tell a story or express an idea, which can help students understand the meaning behind the words. In addition, songs can be a great way to introduce students to different genres of music and different cultures.

    Here are some specific ways that ESL teachers can use songs in the classroom:

Vocabulary Building: Songs can be a great way to introduce new vocabulary. Teachers can choose songs that include words that the students may not know and provide them with the meanings. Students can then practice using the new vocabulary in context.

Pronunciation Practice: Music can also help students improve their pronunciation. Teachers can choose songs that have clear, distinct lyrics and practice singing along with the song to improve pronunciation.

Grammar Practice: Songs can be used to teach grammar in a fun and engaging way. Teachers can choose songs that have a specific grammar structure, such as conditional sentences, and have students listen for examples of that structure.

Cultural Immersion: Music can be a great way to introduce students to different cultures. Teachers can choose songs from different cultures and have students research the culture and the history behind the song.

It's important to choose the right songs for your students. Consider their age, cultural background, and language level when selecting songs. Make sure the lyrics are appropriate and the language used in the song is at an appropriate level for your students.

In conclusion, using songs in teaching English as a second language can be a powerful tool for teachers and students alike. Music is a universal language that can help students connect with the language and culture they are learning. It can make language learning more fun, engaging, and effective. So why not add some music to your next English lesson?

Primary learners love craft projects and they are a great way to get students to engage with and practice new grammar. This week, Colin Sage – an ELT author, editor and teacher-trainer who specialises in Primary and pre-Primary learning – shares some of his favourite easy craft projects for grammar practice.
Craft projects are a great way to motivate Primary students: they’re fun to complete and, when displayed, they demonstrate to students that their work is valued. In this post I bring together a few of my favourite grammar practice craft projects. I like them because they’re all easy to prepare for and can be completed using only paper and the tools found in most pencil cases!

Make a class book

Class books can be used to practice just about any grammar area, depending on what you ask students to write about. A few of topics that I’ve found work well are ‘favourites’ (e.g. ‘My name’s Sam and goats are my favourite animal.’) or students’ imaginary monsters (e.g. ‘My monster’s got ten eyes, and fifteen legs. It can fly and swim.’).
Preparing this craft activity couldn’t be easier too. You just need to give each student an A4 piece of paper (ideally lined for them to write on, and with a frame for them to draw in). Once they have written about the chosen topic, ask students to illustrate their ‘page’. You can then staple the book ‘pages’ together and add a colourful cover.
When the book is completed, it becomes a great resource to read to students – or to have them read to you!

Make a paper-chain

This craft can be used to practice a wide range of grammar areas. At a low level students might swap basic personal details (e.g. ‘What’s your name?’ ‘How old are you?’) At a higher-level, students might practice past tense questions by finding 4 things that they and their partner both did at the weekend (e.g. ‘Did you go to the supermarket?’)
First, you need to do a little bit of folding and cutting, in order to turn sheets of paper into a paper people chain. There are explanations already online about how to do this, so I won’t give detailed instructions here.
When the paper-chain is ready, ask students to interview their classmates to practice their grammar. They then write the information that they find out from each student on one of the paper-chain’s ‘people’. Finally, students complete their paper-chains by drawing and colouring the paper-chain with likenesses of the people they interviewed.

Snake mobiles

For this craft, prepare a photocopy of a coiled snake for each pupil. The snake should spiral about 4 times and its head should be central. Students then practice grammar by writing around the body of the snake. For example, they might practice adjectives (e.g. ‘My snake is green and brown. He’s long and thin too. His name is Simon.’)
After this, students colour the front and back of their snakes and cut along the coils. Next, the head of the snake is attached to the ceiling using piece of plastic thread or string. When hung, the snakes’ bodies should bounce and twist.

Draw round and cut out a body part

For this craft, students draw round either their own hand, or work with a partner to draw round a foot or head. They then write on it, using the lesson’s target grammar, and, finally, cut it out.
Depending on the body part you choose, different grammar can be practiced. For example, a foot can be used to practice the present perfect (e.g. ‘This foot has been to the park this week.’) Alternatively, the head can be decorated and labelled to practice ‘I’ve got…’ (e.g. ‘I’ve got two eyes. I’ve got brown hair.’)

                   The rains are few.


Пташка: Sound the flute!
               Now it’s mute.
               Birds delight

               Nightingale in the dale,
               Lark sings in the sky
               Merrily, merrily,
               Welcome, spring bright.

      Sweet and fresh is everything.
      Winter winds are no more blowing,
      In the fields all is growing,
      In the spring, in the spring,
      Sweet and fresh is everything.

                spring with them.
