Using Music in the Classroom
Music in the ESL classroom is something that can be fun, engaging, and beneficial for the students. The questions are why, what and how. Here are a few things to think about when choosing a song and a few activity ideas to go a long with those tips.
The Broken Song: the game of the week focuses on using music as Eric gives us his best music game he (cough-his wife) has hidden up his sleeve. It’s a great group activity that can be used with large classes and small groups.

Thanks! I’m glad I we could bring you around. Music really brings a lot of students up to the table. There’s a reason people have been singing for thousands of years.
Now, I’m not a fanatic either but it’s nice once or twice a year.
