The Jazz/Grammar Chants series is an excellent supplement for virtually any ESL class. In Jazz chants, intonation and stylistics are presented along with vocabulary and other points. Grammar Chants gives the teacher the opportunity to present the student with a given grammar point and have him internalize it painlessly. Grammar chants are useful for beginners and intermediate-level ESL learners. Don't expect to teach advanced topics with these texts.

Neither of these books, in my opinion, would be appropriate as basic course texts, but as supplementary material they are invaluable!

Excellent resource for any level ESL teacher. Especially good for conversation patterns, grammar, and prononciation. You need to buy the companion book to be able to use it.

I had heard of Jass Chants, but until I bought this CD, I did not understand why Jazz Chants could be useful for teaching ESL. There are over 50 Jazz Chants on this CD, of every type, useful for nearly every level of English. They are fun, clever--some are humorous, too. This is a terrific resource for ESL teachers. Good for lessons, for short activities, and for inspiration for your own Jazz Chants.
