Songs to teach English

Songs are a very useful way of teaching English to students who have a very limited vocabulary. The rythym and beat of a beat are universal and the lyrics very often are rhyming which make English easier to learn. The lyrics below are of songs that I have used in teaching children to learn English. Some are pop songs. Others are traditional songs. All have enabled students to use English more effectively.
