WEEK THREE: Mastering English through The Power of Music

Hi, everyone. Welcome to Mengmeng's week three blog ;)

Don't let the hassle of finding authentic learning materials get in the way of your English language journey! Today I would like to recommend an incredible online resource for you, lyricstraining, and take your language skills to the next level. While textbook dialogues and songs are created for learning purposes, they may lack the authenticity that students crave. That's where Lyricstraining comes in, providing real-life listening materials such as songs that are sure to captivate and engage learners. The blog is consisted of two four parts: a brief introduction to Lyricstraining, how it works, the merits of Lyricstraining and other similar types of websites.

👀What is Lyristraining? 

Lyricstraining is an excellent online resource that won't cost you a penny! Here you can access a vast selection of songs in various languages, catered to the specific needs and proficiency levels of language learners. With original videos, singers, and tempo, the songs are presented as they were intended to be heard. So, if you're looking for an authentic musical experience, look no further than Lyricstraining.

👀How does it work?

1. Choose a music video. 
Select a music video of your choice and head over to Lyricstraining, where you can either create an account or use the website as a guest. From there, browse through the extensive list of music videos or search for a specific song that you'd like to use for your language learning purposes.

2. Select your level.
Once you have selected your desired music video on Lyricstraining, you have the option to choose the level of difficulty for the language learning games. This allows you to customize the experience based on your English proficiency level and ensure that you're challenged enough to learn, but not overwhelmed by the difficulty of the exercises.

3. Start the game.
Now that you have chose your preferred difficulty level, it's time to start playing the language learning game! You can challenge yourself by filling in the gaps in the lyrics.

    Hi Mengmeng,
    I enjoy reading this blog, it is about using music to help English teaching, very interesting. Thanks for letting me know this tool. I see that you attach several pictures, which makes the page more colorful. It's very nice! But the words look small. My suggestion is try to adjust the word size bigger. Hope you find it helpful to your blog.

    lyricstraining is one of my favourite teaching platforms too! Your detailed introduction to it is really great, I love the way you present it with examples from different videos and pictures, I'm sure this blog will be very helpful for first time users of lyricstraining. I've also written a blog about lyricstraining where I mention the point about its limitations, maybe we can have a little discussion about that, I'm looking forward to your point of view!
