Our podcast contains some suggestions of how to use music in the ESL classroom. Using music in the classroom can make learning fun while using an authentic listening input. In our podcast, we talk about some of the activities that an instructor can design to address not only listening comprehension, but also grammar, vocabulary, reading, and speaking.
The intended audience is ESL instructors, but we welcome all listeners.

Sabah and Bill, Very useful suggestions. Your pre-listening, during listening, and post-listening ideas were great and I really think that music is a universal language that can be helpful in language learning contexts.
