Title: Using Songs to Teach Grammar
Body: I use the Lennon/McCartney song "Yesterday" to raise past tense awareness, to contrast use of past tense with present tense, simple and continuous, and for practice. Present perfect abounds in Lennon/McCartney songs as well as in many others. I use "I'll be Seeing You" for future continuous. "It's Getting Better all the Time" points up the use of present continuous to describe an ongoing process, and the past habitual "used to." When you have a melody (either beautiful or "catchy" with other esthetics) wed with apt use of grammar structure, you have myriad possibilities. There are also a lot of Internet sources that will give you ideas, and they'll give you specific songs for specific purposes. Thurber, D.L. Re: Using music to teach grammar concepts. Teachers of English as a Second Language (Grades K-12). TESLK-12@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU (5 June 2006). ---- "Can you bake a cherry pie, Billy Boy, Billy Boy?... modals Love Story: "How can I begin to tell the story... wh-questions "If I had a hammer"... past subjunctive "Casey would waltz with the strawberry blonde, and the band played on"... past habitual "Getting to know you, getting to know all about you... gerunds with infinitives "Sing, sing a song, sing out loud, sing out strong... imperatives "Somewhere, over the rainbow"... prepositions "I left my heart in San Francisco... past tense and prepositions and more! Good luck with your songs. Check out leadsinger.com for a karaoke system built in a single microphone. Sutherland, K. Re: Using music to teach grammar concepts.
