What's the Secret?

People learn language in different ways, but research shows that for most ESL students you need to lower their fear of failure by creating a relaxed Low-Anxiety Environment. This helps build motivation, self-confidence and self-esteem, particularly within a mainstream environment.

Here's why...

By singing along, "in unison" with the class, your ESL students can -- without fear --

1. Practice and perfect their pronunciation of English ...
2. Take risks with words without embarrassment...
3. Experience in a wonderful way the mood of the English language, its culture, expressions and mannerisms.

Singing to Learn is especially helpful for memorizing different word sequences, for understanding the rhythm of the language and for perfecting ESL pronunciation.

Think about Pop Stars. Have you wondered how they can sing in several languages with almost perfect accents? That is because singing allows you to concentrate very carefully on each subtle sound until you get it right. That is why Jazzles is now one of the top-selling Teacher Resources - vocabulary rich with activities, games, word-play and dramatic extensions your students will find fun and engaging!

Jazzles are songs but their lyrics can also be considered poetry OR rhyming literature.  ALL the Jazzles words are REAL words and teach vocabulary in context. Over 400 contemporary words are used – none are babyish, all are useful daily. 400 words is a valuable starter to understanding the English language.

Note - Many learn-to-read packages are full of made-up words which, although funny and amusing, don't really give the student practical experience with reading something that really makes sense.

Jazzles could be called "English Language Learning Jingles"
Jazzles is consistent in its usage of prolifically alliterative, rhyming songs with catchy upbeat music. And believe me, these Jazzles "Jingles" are as effective for easy recall of the lyrics and their 400 words in context as any popular TV advertisement!

How Jazzles actively involves learners, their family and their community in schools

For parents, Jazzles is a low-intensity resource; students love to play the songs in their own time. There is no tension, or stress. No students fighting to get away. For helping students get ready to start school, all a parent need do is work on just a letter a week -- or every two weeks -- and, usually within a 3 Month period, the student will be ready to enter school - reading ready - and with many associated fine motor skills to succeed.

For ESL students, you can talk with parents on how Jazzles (and other sing-to-learn resources) helps their student acquire English naturally. An important part of parent\student support processes are school and class performances. Jazzles can be used royalty free for school performances - and you can legally photocopy the lyrics (and coloring pages). 

Over the year, structure a series of such performances - each using one or two songs - and let parents see their students performing with all their classmates. You can create dramatic extensions or playlets. Every student can have a role - as part of a chorus, walk-on\off part or as a lead. Run a Jazzles' performance - and the problem is everyone wants to participate! 

Even some of my most challenging K-2 students, who like being disruptive on stage, have had great fun being scenery movers or looking after the sound-systems. Being responsible, earning points and acknowledgement mentions is all part of how Jazzles activity extensions aid students to work within the school structure.

Jazzles is one of the easiest ways you can show parents and families the importance of various learning activities - - such as singing, drama, art, crafts, drama, use of percussion instruments -- can contribute to their students's literacy development and school success.

Jazzles musical styles - include Funk, Soul, Cha Cha, Rhythm and Blues, Rock, Smooth Shuffle, Boogie Woogie, Soul, Samba, Mambo, Hawaiian, Big Band, Pasodoble, Dixie Band, Line Dance, Jazz, Country, Gospel Rock, Disco, Swing, Ballad, Latin and Showtime! See Jazzles Song Lyric Search
