Subtitled music videos

This article from the Boston Globe is about the use of subtitles in music videos as a tool to teach native-language literacy, and shares some good stories and research. Consequently, it seems that music sites and karaoke sites may come in really handy to help us improve our English.

Self-study activity:
Why not visit the Tune into English karaoke section and have a go at any of the 7,000-plus songs on the site on a regular basis. You will certainly enjoy yourself, improve your singing ability and boost your grip of English, both vocabulary-wise and listening-wise. Just one minor catch -you may need to register before you start singing in the karoake.
