Lyrics training

By
  • Where to find it? Lyrics training
  • Description: This website allows you to practice your listening skills by means of music videos. Either by dragging the words to the gap or by writing it completely, learners have to complete the lyrics. It also provides a karaoke version of the songs. 
  • Requirements: Internet connection.
  • Possible uses: It is a motivating way to practice listening. As well it helps the teacher to have a time filler with no previous preparation.
  • Advantages and disadvantages: songs are a great and motivating way to expose students to the language, therefore, I find lyrics training as a great tool for practising one of the most difficult skills for them. Nevertheless, I find that its use in class (only with one computer per group) is rather difficult to make use of it. In case of using it in class it is also advisable to revise the content of the music video in advance.

Description: elllo provides graded listening activities. It also provides games and hints of academic listening. Platform: website elllo.org Possible uses: I use it as a library of listening activities and as an extension or reinforcement activities for those students who want to improve their listening. I usually put links to this website in my classroom blog.  Advantages and disadvantages: Its main disadvantage is the layout. It is neither user friendly nor very intuitive but its advantages are superior to this disadvantage. I find particularly interesting the possibility to expose the learner to different accents.
