International Music in English
I love listening to second language speakers sing! There is something so beautiful, even delicate about it, about expressing yourself through vocals/singing in another tongue. I hear it, I feel it, I’m touched by it – it is somehow different than when a native speaker sings….
Further, they are such great role models for our students and we should highlight them in our classrooms. Especially, the local singers from your own station/country who sing in English!
Here’s the full playlist in one handy place. It comes from EFL Classroom 2.0 where you can find lyrics to all these songs with fill in the blanks. Who’s your favorite “Second Language Singer?”
