ESL Songs and Music Welcome aboard our ESL Songs and Music Course, and if you are an old friend who visits us often then you know, it's 'hello again' I think that there is more work involved in building a Learn English website than there is in learning to speak and understand English :) Today we are learning English with Tracy Chapman. The first time I heard her music I loved it, but I could not believe she was a woman. She has a very powerful and deep voice. There are hundreds of pages to our ESL Songs and Music Course and we'll give you some links after we listen to 'Talking about a Revolution' Don't you know They're talking about a revolution It sounds like a whisper While they're standing in the welfare lines Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation Wasting time in the unemployment lines Sitting around waiting for a promotion Talking about a revolution Poor people gonna rise up And get their share And take what's theirs You better run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, Oh I said you better
Interactive lyrics and subtitles to english songs Using Songs to Teach English Larry Lynch tells us why songs should be an integral part of any EFL teacher's repertoire of resources. Language teachers can and should use songs as part of their classroom teaching repertoire. Songs contain authentic language, are easily obtainable, provide vocabulary, grammar and cultural aspects and are fun for the students. They can provide valuable speaking, listening and language practice in and out of the classroom. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. These are only some of the many reasons songs are useful in the language learning classroom. Prof. Comments What do you think of this article?

Rose and Laura Wilder and the Little House stories In April of 1932, an unlikely literary débutante published her first book. Laura Elizabeth Ingalls Wilder was a matron of sixty-five, neat and tiny—about four feet eleven—who was known as Bessie to her husband, Almanzo, and as Mama Bess to her daughter, Rose. The family lived at Rocky Ridge, a farm in the Ozarks, near Mansfield, Missouri, where Wilder raised chickens and tended an apple orchard. She also enjoyed meetings of her embroidery circle, and of the Justamere Club, a study group that she helped found. Laura Ingalls was born in the sylvan wilds near Pepin, Wisconsin, in 1867, and she grew up on the frontier, in the various log cabins, claim shanties, sod dugouts, and little frame houses that her inveterately restless father, Charles, built for his wife and daughters each time he bundled them into a covered wagon and moved on, mostly westward, in search of an elusive prosperity. Almanzo and Laura started courting when she was fifteen. Rose was, in essence, the child of refugees.

To Build a Fire, by Jack London DAY HAD BROKEN cold and gray, exceedingly cold and gray, when the man turned aside from the main Yukon trail and climbed the high earth-bank, where a dim and little-travelled trail led eastward through the fat spruce timberland. It was a steep bank, and he paused for breath at the top, excusing the act to himself by looking at his watch. It was nine o'clock. There was no sun nor hint of sun, though there was not a cloud in the sky. It was a clear day, and yet there seemed an intangible pall over the face of things, a subtle gloom that made the day dark, and that was due to the absence of sun. This fact did not worry the man. “The Yukon lay a mile wide and hidden under three feet of ice.” The man flung a look back along the way he had come. But all this—the mysterious, far-reaching hair-line trail, the absence of sun from the sky, the tremendous cold, and the strangeness and weirdness of it all—made no impression on the man. As he turned to go on, he spat speculatively. But he was safe.
