Songs in class

Hi!

I have a new project for this semester: I �m preparing wss with songs to practice grammar & vocabulary in all of my classes. I have the links for some sites where we can find what song to use for each grammar topic and some vocabulary (entertainment, environment, school, etc.) but most of them have old songs.

Most of my students are teenagers and they love Chris Brown, Lady Gaga, Beyonc�, Rhiana, Eminen... I wonder if there �s a teacher really interested in sharing resources and ideas (or an updated list of songs + topics to be developed with), links and other material to prepare sets of wss with brand-new songs.

I have already prepared some wss, but 2 (or more brains) are able to think faster and better than only one. All the material produced will be shared here.

If someone is interested, PM me and we can talk about details.

NOTE: any kind of help is welcomed.

Have a nice day!

Zailda, I have been working with Dido and Avril Lavigne. My favorites are Life from rent from Dido and Skater Boy from Avril LAvigne. I like them since the lyrics are full of expressions, idioms and collocations.

Hope it will be suseful.

@lagringa, I was away - trying to rest a little bit - during vacations but I returned 2 weeks ago. I started this project this week but there are so many songs... I �ll have material to keep me busy for ages! LOL
