Clear, simple songs work best. I'll take one like this, and first do it as a listening excercise / CLOZE, then practice the words:




My Heart Will Go On


1. Every __________ in my dreams
매일 밤 꿈속에서
2. I __________ you I _________ you
그대를 봅니다 그대를 느낍니다
3. That is ___________ I know you go ________
그렇게 난 그대가 곁에 있음을 알 수 있습니다
4. Far across the ___________
저 멀리서 우리 사이의
5. and spaces ____________ us
공간을 가로질러 와서
6. You _________ come to ____________ you go on
그대가 곁에 있음을 보여 주었습니다


7. Near _________ wherever you __________
가까이든 멀리든 그 어디에 있든지
8. I ______________ that the heart does go on
내 마음은 늘 그대로임을 나는 믿어요
9. Once __________ you open the ___________
다시 한번만 문을 열어주세요
10. And ___________ here in my heart
그러면 그대는 여기 내 맘속에 있어요
11. And ________ heart __________ go on and on
그러면 내 마음은 늘 그대로일거에요

Missing words: are / believe / between / distance / door / far / feel / have / how / know / more / my / night / on / see / show / will / you�re /




12. Love can __________ us one ___________
사랑은 한순간 우리에게 다가와
13. and last for a _______________
평생 계속될수 있어요
14. And _________ let go till we`ve ___________
그리고 우리가 죽을때까지 떠나지 않을겁니다
15. Love was __________ I loved you
내가 그대를 사랑했을때 사랑은 내가 간직하고
16. ________ true time I __________ to
있는 단 한번의 진정한 시간이었어요
17. ________ my life we`ll _____________ go on
살아있는 동안 우리는 늘 함께 있을거에요

18. You`re here there`s ______________ I fear
그대가 여기 있기에 난 두려울것이 없어요
19. And I ___________ that my heart will go on
그리고 내 마음은 늘 그대로란걸 난 알아요
20. We`ll stay ______________ this way
우리는 영원히 이렇게 머물 수 있을 거에요
21. You are __________ in my heart
그대는 내 맘에서 편안하고
22. And my heart will go on and on
내 마음은 늘 그대로일거에요

Missing words: always / forever / gone / hold / lifetime / in / know / never / nothing / one / safe / time / touch / when

I really have had success with a few great songs.

1. Don't cha by the *beep* cat dolls. They love the "Don't cha..."

2. YMCA of course and Titanic. Lemon Tree (see in my videos site, the cool animated version, you can also find on youtube).

2. Korean songs -- I have many with translation but also they love seeing a Korean perform and sing in English. Very motivating. Dong Bang shin gi does a super job. Also other groups.

Take a look through my resource page.

Korean karaoke or videos.
With the karaoke you only need a quick download to play them www.karafun.com

Really motivating to use korean musicians singing in English.

A good one for low level kids is "hello, goodbye" by the beatles. And every kid seesm to know that Westlife song "my love" for some reason..

Deubel-- you taught "don't cha" to your class? Shocked You are a risk taker. (I mean that in the best Bottlerocket sense of hte word) I hope they were adults...

I have 1500 students that can sing this song.

Very successful for all middle school grades even the soccer team.
