I like using music for listening practice in my English classes when I can, the students enjoy it too.

The early Beatles songs are ideal because the lyrics are simple and quite clear.

What is your favourite Beatles song?

This is one I use for my beginners.....Hello, Goodbye

Oh yes, I´ve used this one lots of times with beginners too.

And shot, I usually give them a gap-fill, so they listen for the missng words, or I cut up the lyrics and they have to put them in the correct order.

Sometimes, they do sing along after the second or third listening. Adult learners are a bit shy about singing though, particularly the men. laugh

Well this isn't the Beatles, it's Percy Sledge singing one of my all-time favourites!



"When A Man Loves A Woman"

When a man loves a woman,
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else,
He'd change the world for the good thing he's found.
If she is bad, he can't see it,
She can do no wrong,
Turn his back on his best friend if he put her down.
When a man loves a woman,
He'll spend his very last dime
Tryin' to hold on to what he needs.
He'd give up all his comforts
And sleep out in the rain,
If she said that's the way
It ought to be.
Well, this man loves you, woman.
I gave you everything I have,
Tryin' to hold on to your heartless love.
Baby, please don't treat me bad.
When a man loves a woman,
Down deep in his soul,
She can bring him such misery.
If she is playin' him for a fool,
He's the last one to know.
Lovin' eyes can never see.
When a man loves a woman, he can do her no wrong,
He can never want some other girl.
Yes, when a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels,
Cause baby, baby, you're my world
When a man loves a woman....
