| 9:07 pm | JoeMcVeigh: | Songs and music get students attention. They stop and listen and focus better with the music added to the words. #ELTchat |
| 9:07 pm | hoprea: | RT @harrisonmike: Songs (and poems) a great way to look at words that share the same sounds #eltchat Shakira Fool one good example |

| 9:07 pm | derekspalla: | One challenge is finding or creating songs…the process is time consuming for both. #ELTchat |
| 9:08 pm | sandymillin: | #eltchat Do you use songs with videos or just audio? |
| 9:08 pm | TyKendall: | personally i have found that songs are a great way to access slang and to move beyond the sometimes colourless textbook language #ELTchat |
| 9:08 pm | iVenus: | I love list of performance assessment ideas presented in “reprise”. New options to “fill-in-blank” (i.e., traditional assessments ) #eltchat |
| 9:08 pm | steve__kirk: | Songs provide multiple routes to lang retention: rhythm, melody, metre. It all helps SS hang onto the lang. #eltchat |
| 9:08 pm | billpellowe: | We believe that slow songs can help students learn intonation, elision etc., but does it really? #eltchat |
| 9:08 pm | iVenus: | The fact that we can watch videos as well as listen to songs really enhances student experience. #ELTchat |
| 9:08 pm | Marisa_C: | RT @shaznosel: @Marisa_C @TyKendall song enable bottom-up/top-down processing simultaneously..that’s got be something! #ELTchat |
| 9:08 pm | cioccas: | @sandymillin With video if possible and if it enhances understanding #ELTchat |
| 9:08 pm | gret: | @TyKendall I agree! I love using songs in my classes. #ELTChat |
| 9:08 pm | hoprea: | @sandymillin I find that even though it makes songs more interesting, video can also be very distracting. #ELTChat |
| 9:09 pm | Marisa_C: | @Marisa_C Hello Shaz mou! Remember tha hashtag! 🙂 #ELTchat |
| 9:09 pm | harrisonmike: | Love the juxtaposition of music and words in @Harmerj and Steve Bingham’s http://youtu.be/UHeLQPtUjFM #eltchat |
| 9:09 pm | Shaunwilden: | RT @sandymillin: #eltchat Do you use songs with videos or just audio? <These days I tend to use videos from youtube more to exploit |
| 9:09 pm | esolcourses: | RT @Marisa_C: RT @shaznosel @Marisa_C @TyKendall song enable bottom-up/top-down processing simultaneously..that’s got be something! #ELTchat |
| 9:09 pm | derekspalla: | I personally try to “sing” all of the songs myself…my students get a kick out of it even when I do it badly 🙂 #ELTchat |
| 9:09 pm | esolcourses: | RT @harrisonmike: Love the juxtaposition of music and words in @Harmerj and Steve Bingham’s http://youtu.be/UHeLQPtUjFM #eltchat |
| 9:09 pm | SueannaN: | It depends wht U do w/ songs in the classroom. Just b/c its music doesn’t mean that it will suit everyone ( teens esp) #ELTchat |
| 9:09 pm | Marisa_C: | RT @EleniPat: @Marisa_C @sandymillin Hello everyone! I like working on songs. My students feel relaxed and participate more #ELTchat |
| 9:09 pm | LauraAustinNow: | RT @JoeMcVeigh: Songs and music get students attention. They stop and listen and focus better with the music added to the words. #ELTchat |
| 9:09 pm | Marisa_C: | @EleniPat Please remember to use the #ELTchat hashtag! |
| 9:09 pm | iVenus: | I’ve also found karaoke versions of songs on YouTube and have an occasional sing off w/ students! #ELTchat |
| 9:09 pm | sandymillin: | #eltchat I often have background music to put SS at ease when doing song tasks. And if I sing along (which I do) they laugh and relax 🙂 |
| 9:09 pm | JoeMcVeigh: | RTI agree with @hoprea: @sandymillin I find that even though it makes songs more interesting, video can also be very distracting. #ELTChat |
| 9:10 pm | esolcourses: | RT @SueAnnan It depends wht U do w/ songs in the classroom. Just b/c its music doesn’t mean that it will suit everyone ( teens esp) #ELTchat |
| 9:10 pm | harrisonmike: | Music videos are great for mixing up the words and visuals of a song #eltchat My take here: http://bit.ly/fwOhdn |
| 9:10 pm | billpellowe: | RT @steve__kirk: Songs provide multiple routes to lang retention: rhythm, melody, metre. It all helps SS hang onto the lang. #eltchat |
| 9:10 pm | BethCagnol: | @billpellowe I find slower songs can confuse students due to their elongated vowels. #ELTCHAT |
| 9:10 pm | sandymillin: | #eltchat Sorry fluency tasks not ‘song tasks’ 🙂 |
| 9:10 pm | SueannaN: | Chants are good for pronunciation exercises #ELTCHAT |
| 9:10 pm | janetbianchini: | Ss love singing songs – great pron practice / vocab extension / vocab themes /and it’s great fun! #ELTchat |
| 9:10 pm | harrisonmike: | RT @esolcourses: RT @SueAnnan It depends wht U do w/ songs in the classroom. Just b/c its music doesn’t mean that it will suit everyone ( teens esp) #ELTchat |
| 9:10 pm | Marisa_C: | If you are new to #ELTchat please remember to add the #ELTchat hashtag to your tweet so all chatters can see it in the search |
| 9:10 pm | Shaunwilden: | @sandymillin I used to do that but found sts would rather not have it, do you ask them first? #ELTchat |
| 9:10 pm | BethCagnol: | One of my FAVE songs to use is “Anything you can do I can do better” for the comparative. #ELTCHAT |
| 9:10 pm | gret: | @SueAnnan I usually do get to know you activities and ask my students for their favorite bands, singers… especially with teens. #ELTChat |
| 9:11 pm | Marisa_C: | RT @SueAnnan: Chants are good for pronunciation exercises #ELTchat (hashtags pls) |
| 9:11 pm | grahamstanley: | Happy New Year everyone #ELTchat |
| 9:11 pm | SueannaN: | @Marisa_C I redid with hashtag #ELTchat |
| 9:11 pm | harrisonmike: | Agree, music not 4 everyone. @Harmerj told me he saw a T turn on background music for speaking activity w/out asking sts. Not good. #eltchat |
| 9:11 pm | sandymillin: | @Shaunwilden #eltchat Depends on if class is quiet. I sometimes turn it off once they start speaking – depends on if silence stops talking |
| 9:11 pm | cioccas: | @MagicalGx If you want to see what a live Twitter chat is all about, then do a search for #ELTchat – now! |
| 9:11 pm | esolcourses: | @hoprea @JoeMcVeigh agree video can be distracting, but OTOH, sometimes you can utilise the visuals to teach a language point. #ELTchat |
| 9:11 pm | monicamalpas77: | #ELTchat sometimes it’s hard to choose a popular song cause Ss like different kinds of music and the lyrics might have impolite words |
| 9:11 pm | gret: | @derekspalla I do that a lot too! My students used to sing in front of the class last year too. Some even wrote their own songs #ELTChat |
| 9:12 pm | BethCagnol: | @iVenus How old are your students? #ELTCHAT |
| 9:12 pm | billpellowe: | I’ve found that Japanese students really don’t get the idea of rhyme in songs unless it is explicitly taught to them. #eltchat |
| 9:12 pm | derekspalla: | @smaragdav Haha….but our kids love us 🙂 #ELTchat |
| 9:12 pm | SueannaN: | RT @monicamalpas77: #ELTchat sometimes it’s hard 2 choose a popular song cause Ss lk difft kinds of music & the lyrics might have taboowords |
| 9:12 pm | Marisa_C: | RT @Chaoukiboss: It doesn’t matter whether Ts like songs or not. Songs can achieve the goals only when learners like them.> True #ELTchat |
| 9:12 pm | iVenus: | College freshmen (18) RT @bethcagnol: @iVenus How old are your students? #ELTCHAT |
| 9:12 pm | marekandrews: | good w new group 2 get ss to write down songs they like+4 you as teacher 2 make sure everyone’s song is dealt with in some way #eltchat |
| 9:12 pm | Shaunwilden: | @monicamalpas77 does that mean you alter the lyrics or censor songs? #ELTchat |
| 9:12 pm | LauraAustinNow: | RT @cioccas: @MagicalGx If you want to see what a live Twitter chat is all about, then do a search for #ELTchat – now! |
| 9:12 pm | sandymillin: | #eltchat So if @Harmerj says I shouldn’t, then had better ask more. Some SS gave feedback that they like background music = more relaxed |

| 9:13 pm | TyKendall: | i like how Mark Andrews used Katy Perry’s firework to tackle a taboo subject http://markandrews.edublogs.org/ #ELTchat |
| 9:13 pm | Marisa_C: | RT @shaznosel: @Marisa_C sorry to say but teenagers find chants boring..too much like poetry..songs are for the teens #ELTchat |
| 9:13 pm | cioccas: | Agree, choice of song sometimes v. difficult, esp in classes with ages 18-80 and form 15-20 different cultural backgrounds! #ELTchat |
| 9:13 pm | sandymillin: | RT @TyKendall: i like how Mark Andrews used Katy Perry’s firework to tackle a taboo subject http://bit.ly/guvOOk #ELTchat <me 2 |
| 9:13 pm | derekspalla: | @gret Having students write a song is a great idea too.! I will be trying that., especially with my older ones. #ELTchat |
| 9:13 pm | harrisonmike: | That was cool! RT @TyKendall: i like how Mark Andrews used Katy Perry’s firework to tackle a taboo subject http://bit.ly/5IosV6 #ELTchat |
| 9:13 pm | grahamstanley: | My favourite modals (for prediction) song is ‘The ballad of Billy Jo’ – there’s a version by Sinead O’Connor #ELTchat |
| 9:13 pm | billpellowe: | 1 of my students’ graduation thesis is on rap (rhyme & content analysis, etc). He uses urbandictionary.com to understand lyrics #eltchat |
| 9:13 pm | Shaunwilden: | @harrisonmike I dont think i would censor them but i rarely teach kids #ELTchat |
| 9:14 pm | Marisa_C: | Songs are great but often teachers like diff ones diff generation – e,g, glazed eyes over Beatles songs in some classes #ELTchat |
| 9:14 pm | hoprea: | What about songs with taboo or swear words? Would you use them in class? For instance, teens asking for hit songs with such words. #ELTChat |
| 9:14 pm | smaragdav: | songs help boost ss with learning difficulties self confidence. you dont need to spell or read once u learn the song #Eltchat |
| 9:14 pm | BethCagnol: | @harrisonmike I actually had a student who was music-phobic! Hated it! Couldn’t stand it. Really made classes…interesting. #ELTCHAT |
| 9:14 pm | TyKendall: | we can still get learners to generate language even if they don’t like the song they can talk about their dislikes #ELTchat |
| 9:14 pm | monicamalpas77: | @Shaunwilden #ELTchat I often ask for suggestions,bands, singers,etc and then I choose the song |
| 9:14 pm | sandymillin: | #eltchat One teacher prepared activities for Lady Gaga – Telephone, then watched video last minute and found it wasn’t suitable |
| 9:14 pm | esolcourses: | RT @hoprea: What about songs with taboo or swear words? Would you use them in class? For instance, teens asking for hit songs with such words. #ELTChat |

| 9:15 pm | cioccas: | @hoprea: What about songs with taboo or swear words? Use them to teach those words and discuss why taboo. #ELTChat |
| 9:15 pm | harrisonmike: | @hoprea I find, even tho I teach adults, I wouldn’t use a song w/loads of swearwords. Some of my learners r not that mature really #eltchat |
| 9:15 pm | marekandrews: | @TyKendall yeah it’s good to milk a song for all the cultural connections u can+take it to unusual places #eltchat |
| 9:15 pm | Marisa_C: | RT @monicamalpas77: @Shaunwilden #ELTchat I often ask for suggestions,bands, singers,etc and then I choose the song |

| 9:15 pm | janetbianchini: | #ELTchat Love doing Eternal Flame by the Bangles with Elems -great pres cont + miming actions +body vocab practice http://tinyurl.com/yrw937 |
| 9:15 pm | derekspalla: | @hoprea Usually you can find “clean” versions of student songs that have offensive lyrics or themes. #ELTchat |
| 9:15 pm | gret: | @Marisa_C I love using songs to encourage discussions in my literature classes. For ex Animal Farm w/ Revolution by The Beatles #ELTChat |
| 9:15 pm | harrisonmike: | @grahamstanley If the internet connection and network are all good, eh? ;o) #eltchat |
| 9:15 pm | cioccas: | @grahamstanley: IWB great for using songs in class! #ELTchat |
| 9:15 pm | sandymillin: | RT @JenniWellsted: @hoprea find the radio edit #ELTChat |
| 9:16 pm | BethCagnol: | @Marisa_C @shaznosel Teens do find some songs boring unless they’re tied 2 their fave shows (e.g. theme from How I Met Ur Mother) #ELTCHAT |
| 9:16 pm | Marisa_C: | If you need any help please ask me or @esolcourses who is helping me moderate tonight’s chat #ELTchat |
| 9:16 pm | grahamstanley: | Using http://www.spotify.com or Youtube for the music and lyrics copied and pasted on IWB #ELTchat |
| 9:16 pm | hoprea: | @cioccas That’s one way to deal with them, for sure! 🙂 #ELTChat |
| 9:16 pm | TyKendall: | i think appropriacy is always an issue when dealing with authentic material, songs are no different, teachers have to use judgement #ELTchat |

| 9:16 pm | monicamalpas77: | @sandymillin #ELTchat it’s really important to watch the videos before playing them but you can just use other pics instead while listening |
| 9:16 pm | cioccas: | @hoprea Need to when they’re living in an English-speaking country and hearing that language every day! #ELTchat |
| 9:16 pm | BethCagnol: | @JoeMcVeigh Yes I CAN CAN CAN! (love that song 🙂 #ELTCHAT |

| 9:17 pm | lydbury: | Just to say I am here but regret this is a bit outside my ken – we don’t do this! #eltchat |
| 9:17 pm | esolcourses: | RT @monicamalpas77: @Shaunwilden #ELTchat I often ask for suggestions,bands, singers,etc and then I choose the song ] great idea! |
| 9:17 pm | hoprea: | @JenniWellsted @derekspalla Even so, students are likely to already know the song and will sing it using the dirty words… #ELTChat |
| 9:17 pm | JoeMcVeigh: | #ELTchat Thanks to @gret, @janetbianchini, @bethcagnol for specific song suggestions and how you use them. Very helpful. Other ideas? |
| 9:17 pm | grahamstanley: | It’s great to be able to use a song that my YLs are into that day, rather than wait until next class #ELTchat |
| 9:17 pm | sandymillin: | RT @lydbury: Just to say I am here but regret this is a bit outside my ken – we don’t do this! #eltchat <so then, why not? |
| 9:17 pm | gret: | @derekspalla Yes, it’s great! Some shared the songs on their blogs! Others shared the videos on the blogs and then sang in class. #ELTChat |
| 9:17 pm | Marisa_C: | RT @hoprea: @JenniWellsted @derekspalla Even so, students likely to already know the song and will sing it using the dirty words… #ELTChat |
| 9:18 pm | billpellowe: | Songs can prompt discussion *about* the song. Play a clip, students talk (Have you ever heard this, Do you like this, etc) #eltchat |
| 9:18 pm | marekandrews: | love using two versions of songs+getting ss to compare them like 2 versions of candle in the wind http://tinyurl.com/6g3athf #eltchat |

| 9:18 pm | derekspalla: | @hoprea Not after they learn the “new” version you teach them. It will get stuck in their head I promise 🙂 #ELTchat |
| 9:18 pm | hoprea: | I guess the very first thing is defining why you’re playing a song in class. Is it just for fun or is there a clear learning goal? #ELTChat |
| 9:18 pm | grahamstanley: | I’ve also taken my PlayStation to class and used SingStar (karaoke) – great fun with teenagers #ELTchat |
| 9:18 pm | lydbury: | @grahamstanley Agree #ELTchat |
| 9:18 pm | Marisa_C: | I like to get Ss to write additional verses #ELTchat |
| 9:18 pm | BethCagnol: | @lydbury Aw, come on’ Duncan. Business English and music are a perfect fit! 😉 #ELTCHAT |

| 9:19 pm | smaragdav: | RT @Marisa_C: I like to get Ss to write additional verses #ELTchat |
| 9:20 pm | Shaunwilden: | An Idea I got from @cheimi10 was 2 use screen capture 2 take pics from a song video, they can then be used 4 ordering/ prediction..#ELTchat |
| 9:20 pm | gret: | We even had a Skype call with @flourishingkids‘ class in California. We sang for them and they sang for us! It was amazing! #ELTChat |
| 9:20 pm | sandymillin: | RT @Shaunwilden: from @cheimi10: use screen capture to take pics from song video, can be used for ordering/ prediction etc #eltchat |
