Trending music on social media like tiktok, are easy to remember and fun at the same time , making the lessons more enjoyable and fun at the same time because they will be hearing something they like and know
For me the trick is to find songs that are well written: Sting - Englishman in New York Katy Perry - Firework Madness - Driving in my Car Don Maclean - Starry Starry Night (Vincent) Disney/Jungle Book - Bare Necessities All these songs are very clearly written and they performance are crystal clear in terms of a vocal performance. They also have fantastic pacing so students have time to form and pronounce the words.

I prefer using songs that are trending on social media so my students are well aware of most of the latest trends on social media and it becomes more enjoyable helping my students with their pronunciation of some of the words
I like to use "The Wheels on the Bus" in English lessons. It is fun, easy to sing, and helps children learn action words.
Songs need to have catchy tunes to keep students interested. Imagine Dragon's Believer is a great example. The best way to ensure students stay interested is by using sounds from TikTok. That way, students will remember their English lesson whenever they open TikTok.
I love Pink, Lady Gaga also all those trending music via social media and TikTok, it just makes it much fun and easy to remember while singing and dancing with those type of music.
Believer by Imagine Dragons
As an English tutor with over 10 years of experience, one of my favorite songs to use in lessons is "Imagine" by John Lennon. It’s a timeless classic with simple yet powerful lyrics that are easy for learners to follow. The song provides a great opportunity to explore vocabulary, discuss themes like peace and unity, and practice pronunciation. Plus, its slow tempo and clear enunciation make it perfect for students at various proficiency levels. I find that "Imagine" not only helps with language skills but also sparks meaningful conversations, making it a wonderful addition to any English lesson!
Trending music especially for the younger generation it makes it fun and interactive but I will let them choose thier favourite song and we can make it part of our lesson
Mainly trending music, but there are some that are really enjoyable and meaningful like the ones for Adele, Ed Sheeran, and Taylor Swift.

Chunking and previewing is great, and I encourage it a lot. It's good for the real world and for examination practice too. When I use this method, I use the 80/ 20 principle. So if it is reading exercises, for every 4 chunking and previewing exercises, we will have 1 exercise where we have in-depth and detailed training.
