The Verve Pipe: "The Freshmen"
I made this worksheet to accompany the song "The Freshmen" by the Verve Pipe. The song�s overall message was challenging to my intermediate students. The main point they understood was that the two people in the song had a romantic relationship and something bad happened. I used this after showing a youtube video with the lyrics in English.

"Heartless" by Kanye West
I used this listening activity in a mixed-level English class. "Heartless" is a good song to teach ESL because the words are slow and it contains a lot of slang. I used this as an alternative to dictation, which my students hate. Also included are the song�s lyrics.

Lady Gaga - Just Dance
Students filled in the missing words while listening to Lady Gaga�s "Just Dance." My high school students love her. The song lyrics are very fast, so I recommend the handout for upper intermediate to advanced students.

What�s Going On
My students listened to the "All Star Tribute" (MTV version on youtube) of "What�s Going On" to discuss the 1960s and the Civil Rights Movement. They enjoyed the song very much, especially because it helped them understand what people like Martlin Luther King, Jr. were thinking during that time. It can also be related to the Vietnam War.

American High School Cliques
This is a worksheet for intermediate-level students. I taught a thematic unit about American high school life (in contrast to Korean high school life). It is based on the stereotypes of cliques in American high schools. My students had a better understanding of different kinds of students after doing this worksheet.

I played a youtube video with English lyrics for students to check t...

Friends Introduction
I made this printable to introduce the cast of "Friends" to my high school students. Their level is low-intermediate, so this activity was very challenging. I recommend this introduction for upper-intermediate/advanced students. Students should fill in information while watching an episode of "Friends."
