unscramble the song
5. Unscramble the Song
Print multiple copies of the lyrics to a popular song. Cut the lyrics into small sections or, for more advanced students, into individual words. Divide the class into teams. Give each team a set of cut up lyrics.
Play the song as many times as needed while teams race to unscramble the lyrics and paste them together in the correct order. Bonus points to you if you can play the song and sing it yourself. Your students would love that!
Many ESL students credit their language acquisition to pop culture media like movies and songs. Bringing popular music into the classroom is a great way to engage students in this group activity. In addition, each student in the group has to use careful listening skills and employ precise word order, especially if you choose a fast song or one with commonly misheard lyrics.
Once students have completed the task, you can begin to incorporate more advanced English instruction around musical vocabulary, by teaching words like bridge, chorus and hook.

10 Ways to Make Your Lesson Planning Easier by Using Worksheets in Class
Show Student Improvement
Learning a language can be a slow process, and your students may feel discouraged at the rate of their progress. You can use worksheets to show your students that they are moving forward in their language studies. Try giving your students a really challenging worksheet at the beginning of the year. Grade it and keep it to yourself, letting your students know they will see it again later in the year. Then at the end of the year, give your students the same worksheet. By this time, they will have learned much of the language that worksheet tested, and they are sure to score higher on it this time. At your end of the year assessment, show each student his first worksheet and his last one, pointing out how much better he did on the second. You’ll have indisputable proof that your students have improved under your tutelage.
