Songs can be used in many fun ways in English class (ESL, EFL). I love music, so I make it a centerpiece of my classes. For me, the more songs the better. Here we go!<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Before Class Time:<\/b> Get your students ready for the class before it starts by playing songs in English. This can be a playlist of songs that you are singing in your class, or something else nice to listen to.<\/li>\n
    2. Warm-Up Songs: <\/b>I always sing a song with my students as part of the warm-up. Keep the warm-up songs simple and introduce the language as part of the warm-up. A great warm=-up song example is \u201cHead, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes.\u201d<\/li>\n
    3. Topic Songs: <\/b>You can use songs to help teach the vocabulary and phrases that you are learning in the class. For example, if you are learning the weather try the \u201cWeather Song\/Sun Comes Up.\u201d<\/a> It introduces the weather and asks, \u201cHow\u2019s the weather?\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n
