Dear Teacher,
As the end of this difficult school year approaches The Tune Into English Online Game Show is an ideal activity for your students – you can watch video extracts from the show and see students’ comments here.
It has been one year since the launch of The Tune Into English subscription plans, and thank you to all who have signed up for the weekly email with exclusive content and access to three full Roadshows. The website is free and always will be, but if you have enjoyed using its resources over the last sixteen years (and indeed over the next sixteen 😉 ), perhaps you might consider buying us a coffee? With touring income completely eliminated in the last 14 months, your support is very much appreciated.
Thank you.
The Song on Speak Up
In the May issue of Speak Up, to celebrate Bob Dylan’s 80th birthday, Tune’s monthly column looks at the story behind and the language used in Blowing In The Wind. You can read April’s look at Adele’s Someone Like You, as well as nine other songs from the previous series, here.

May’s New Downloadable Worksheet
This Australian hip hop group wrote this fun, quirky song in lockdown, donating all proceeds to a fund to help unemployed music workers. First-time contributor Barbara Eckert-Wagner from Germany has prepared a worksheet which encourages students to discuss their feelings during lockdown.
