The Best Music Websites For Learning English Check out my New York Times post for English Language Learners focuses on using music for language development and includes a student interactive, video, and teaching ideas. I use music a lot in my teaching of English Language Learners. I thought people might find it helpful to see which sites I believe to be the best out there to help teach English — Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced — through music. Music is a familiar, fun, and engaging tool to use in learning a second language. This is latest of my “The Best…” series, also known as Websites Of The Year. You might also be interested in an interview I did about using music in the ESL/EFL classroom. Lastly, you might find these other “The Best…” lists useful: Here are what I believe to be the best music websites for learning English: The Music Page from the Language Guide, the best audio/picture dictionary on the Web for English Language Learners. The English Language Listening Lab Online, also known as ELLO, has a good Music page .

Active & Passive Voice - Scholarly Voice - Academic Guides at Walden University The APA 6th Edition, Section 3.18, indicates that writers should use the active voice for clarity (APA, 2010, p. 77). Writing in the active voice means the subject of the sentence clearly performs the action that the verb expresses. APA stresses using the active voice to make it clear to the reader who is taking action in the sentence. The order of words in a sentence with active voice is subject, verb, object. Example: I conducted a study of elementary school teachers. Generally, in scholarly writing, with its emphasis on precision and clarity, the active voice is preferred. if the reader is aware of who the actor is; in expository writing, where the goal of the discussion is to provide background, context, or an in-depth explanation; if the writer wants to focus on the object or the implications of the actor’s action; or to vary sentence structure. Also, much like for anthropomorphism, different writing styles have different preferences.

The Best Online Karaoke Sites For English Language Learners I’ve used music a lot with English Language Learners. Singing feels much less threatening to many who are learning a new language. Karaoke is a good language-development activity, and there are quite a few karaoke sites on the Internet. I thought it would be a good topic for a short “The Best…” list. In order to make it on this list, a site has to be available free-of-charge (or at least some of its resources have to be free), easy-to-use, require no download, and allow students — either alone or in a group — to record themselves singing. A link to their performance can then be posted on a student or teacher website. There are only a few sites that meet that criteria. SMS Tunes is another similar site. Sing Snap is the newest addition to this list. KaraSongs doesn’t allow students to record themselves, but they have tons of great videos showing the lyrics to popular songs with instrumental accompaniment.
