Teaching with songs

http://www.isabelperez.com/songs.htm

An amazing site where students will listen to modern songs (Umbrella by Rihanna, If I were a boy by Beyoncé, Where is the love by Black Eyed Peas) and find interesting activities to practice grammar issues.

Another useful site, where songs are divided into categories (animals, alphabet, clothing, food and nutrition...)
