The video games are very popular and can be an excellent learning tool. You will never put off playing a video game because it is fun, but you will hear and read so much useful vocabulary in context. Spend an hour a day gaming and you will start to notice your English improving, all because of something you did it in your free time.

I remember that in the first English course that I took, our teacher showed us a mobile application to see the lyrics of our favorite songs for us to practice reading and listening. I loved that method because I was listening and reading something that I liked and practice my English at the same time. It is something similar to the methods proposed in this article, and I think that it is a very good way to motivate students to learn and practice the language.

It is a very interesting platform for students and effective for teachers because children can practice English with one of the hobbies they enjoy the most: music. In addition, teachers find a lesson plan for each song including activities, objectives, materials, and different proficiency levels. From my point of view, it is a very useful alternative for all teachers to get out of the routine and do activities that are linked to the interests of the students.
