Musical English Lessons

Learn English vocabulary and grammar through songs from a wide range of famous pop artists from the Beatles and Elvis to contemporary standouts like Avil Lavigne, Good Charlotte, and James Blunt. Find an exercise by grammar or vocabulary focus (as listed on this page) or by artist (go to the site map). You'll find a mix of activities including Cloze exercises, word match, creative writing prompts, spelling and punctuation passages, and more. Exercises come with instructions and printable pages. Initial page of the site, with instructions, is available in many languages; remainder of site is in English (British English). Site is a bit odd to look at (formatting, each activity pops in a browser window) but is well worth the effort as it includes great ideas and materials for middle and high school level ELL classes. It does not include the audio versions of songs.
