SING ALONG

How will learning English through songs help me?

Using songs is a very great way to improve your pronunciation and grammar, and you are likely to learn and remember new vocabulary and idioms.

 - Pronunciation:  Singing along with your favourite English songs will help you to learn how to pronounce English words correctly and will also help to reduce your accent. You will learn more about the rhythm of sentences and how to link your words together when you speak.

  - Vocabulary: Listening to music will help you to learn more vocabulary quicly. You are also more likely to remember new words and English expressions if you listen to them in a song than is you read them or learn them in your English class.

Karaoke to get your students singing songs

I had found which you could use with students ( http://www.redkaraoke.com/ )

https://www.luckyvoicekaraoke.com/karaoke-kit// This site is still under development, but has some marvelous features and a really good collection of songs and play lists. I've written a complete review of the site at: http://quickshout.blogspot.com.es/2008/08/another-great-new-karaoke-site.html

But the best one so far for me is http://www.karaokeparty.com/en mainly because many of the songs also include videos of the original singer with the lyrics. Students who register can also get a score on their singing ability, which may also help to motivate them to repeat the song aand do better.  You can see a complete review with screen shots at:https://nikpeachey.blogspot.com.es/2008/07/karaoke-with-social-network.html

Happy singing, and if you do have any of your own ideas for using karaoke with EFL studentss please leave me a comment  below.
