Larry Ferlazzo’s Best Sites list: “I use music a lot in my teaching of English LanguageLearners. I thought people might find it helpful to see which sites I believe to be thebest out there to help teach English — Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced – throughmusic. My students have certainly found them helpful.”

Number thirteen is the Music Page from theLanguage Guide, the best audio/picturedictionary on the Web for English Language Learners. It’s obviously important for students to understand some basic music vocabulary.
28.
Number twelve isMusical English Lessons International. This site has an enormousnumber of ready-to-print activities that students can use to develop their English skillswhile listening to music.
29.
The English Language Listening Lab Online, also known as ELLO, has a goodMusic page that I’m ranking eleventh. Students can listen to pop tunes and many, but not all,have follow-up exercises that can be accessed by clicking on “Word Challenge.”
30.
Number ten is a new site calledLyrics Mode. This is clearly the best source for accurate song lyrics to print-out without having to put-up with countless annoying pop-up adds that are prevalent in other lyrics sites.
31.
I’m very tentatively naming another new site calledSongzaas a sort of companion onthis list to Lyrics Mode, though I’m not giving it a “formal” rank. Songza has millions of songs you can play “on-demand,” including many that I use in my teaching. You canalso create your own “playlists.” It’s an incredible resource to be able to use in your classroom.
However
, even though everything I have read about Songza and severalsimilar sites in numerous blogs and journals doesn’t give any indication of potentiallegal issues, I still don’t understand how they can offer this service without violatingcopyright laws. Until that’s clearer in my mind I don’t feel I can give it an official spot onmy list.
