Input is king

If your students are coming once a week for an hour or so, that's a very small amount of English input each week. Therefore, it's really important to find ways for them to be exposed to English outside of class. Music can be one of your most effective tools. Songs will stick in students' heads, bouncing around for days. And listening to CDs at home is an easy way for students to continue to get language input.

As students get older, they may be a little reluctant to sing in the classroom, but you can still make music a part of your lessons. Choose textbooks and other materials that have an audio/video component so that they will continue to learn with music.

Remember, if you want your students to listen to the materials at home, you need to communicate that very clearly to the parents. Make a listening schedule or assign tracks as homework so that parents know exactly what their children should be listening to. When you have open communication, you often learn that parents aren't doing home activities with the kids because they're not sure what to do and how to do it. Sometimes just having regular meetings with the parents can make a huge difference.
