Using Music to Enhance Second Language Acquisition

Music is frequently used by teachers to help second language learners acquire a second language. This is not surprising since the literature abounds with the positive statements regarding the efficacy of music as a vehicle for first and second language acquisition. It has been reported to help second language learners acquire vocabulary and grammar, improve spelling and develop the linguistic skills of reading, writing, speaking and listening ...

On the other hand, I`d like to share this video which is about using hit songs in the ESL classroom. And of course it hasn`t been made to cover all the curriculum. However Rock Talk can work perfectly well as a supplemental tool

GOOD LUCK !

Jon Secada Angel (English Version) lyrics

I, I can't read the future
But I still want to hold you close
Right now, I need that from you
So give me the morning
Sharing another day with you
Is all I want to know
And baby I, I've tried to forget you
But the light of your eyes
Still shines like an Angel
A spirit that won't let me go
And I, I didn't want to tell you
Things I didn't wanna know myself
I was afraid to show
But you, you gave me a reason
A reason to face the truth, oh yes you did
To face the truth, face the truth
Face the truth
And baby I, I've tried to forget you
But the light of your eyes
Still shines, shines, shines like an Angel
A spirit that won't let me go
Won't let me go, let go of my heart
And baby I, I've tried to forget you
But the light of your eyes
Still shines like an Angel
A spirit that won't let me go
Won't let me go, my Angel

KARAOKE

IN THE ARMS OF AN ANGEL

Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
For the break that will make it ok
There's always some reason to feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction oh beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
They may be empty and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of an Angel fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here

So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference, escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees

In the arms of an Angel far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
In the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here

You're in the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here

THE ENGLISH ACCENT!

MY FIRST LESSON

Se sabe que en algunas ocasiones el inglés se vuelve un dolor de cabeza cuando eres nuevo, pero no te sientas mal que no eres el único con ese problema. Las diferencias entre tu lengua nativo y el inglés, La estructura gramatical y la conjugación de acuerdo a los tiempos presente, pasado y futuro hace que todo esto sea más confuso. Pero no todo es tan difícil como parece, todo toma su tiempo y poco a poco iras tomando confianza, pero recuerdo que de nada sirve si no tomas en cuenta el contexto donde puedas usar cada cosita que vayas adquiriendo ya sea vocabulario, gramática, expresiones, etc. Porque escribir y leer bien no es suficiente si no puedes entablar una conversación y entender lo que estas diciendo.

Ojo, Interpretar es mejor que traducir!!!!

The Certificate IV in TESOL is a competency-based course, therefore the assessment items all require a practical demonstration of the ability to complete the tasks involved in teaching ESL. All of the assessment therefore revolves around your practice teaching: preparing lesson plans, materials and resources, implementing and evaluating lessons. At the end of the course, you and your supervisor want to be sure that you can enter an ESL classroom and teach a class.
