Learning English with Songs
On your own, you can improve your listening comprehension (as well as vocabulary) by listening to songs you like in English and doing cloze (fill in the gap) activities you create.
One warning: try to choose songs that are not too difficult or complicated, and where the singer doesn't sing too quickly. Preview the song on YouTube first.
The Procedure: (Steps 1-6 can be completed in 5-10 minutes)
1. Choose a singer or a song.
2. Find the song in YouTube or elsewhere. (Preview it first)
3. Google the singer's name/or song + "lyrics"
4. Find the lyrics, then select and copy
5. Open MSWord and paste the lyrics, then print the page
6. Go to online close generator and paste the lyrics, then choose what to select. Print
7. Listen and fill in the cloze sheet. Then check your answers.
You should listen 2-3 times.
When finished, try to shadow the song. (With or without reading the lyrics.)
Some good websites for finding song lyrics:
