Hello. Welcome to Heartland. As a songwriter and EFL teacher I know how successful songs can be in both stimulating learners and creating a warm and friendly atmosphere in the classroom. The idea for Heartland started when I began to use my own songs as an alternative to standard EFL pop favourites. I found that students responded with great enthusiasm to the songs and to the short tasks that accompanied them. I was so encouraged, I decided to compile this resource. I’d like to thank the musicians, Phil, Ian, Gemma and Mick for their hard work, patience (!!) and support, and a special thanks to Ian White for inspiring ‘Country Man’. Heartland consists of a CD of 12 original, authentic songs plus this photocopiable resource. Complete lyrics are provided, and each song includes a variety of both teacher and learner friendly tasks. Happy teaching! Tom Reid ✴ ✴ ✴ ✴ ✴ ✴ ✴ ✴ ✴ Some ideas for making very good use of the songs If you are using Heartland primarily for entertaining language work Choose one of the songs. i) Photocopy both sides of the worksheet for your chosen song. Cut up the ‘text’ page so you have the ‘missing words’ version ready for the class (one between two students is enough). ii) Either – play the chosen song a couple of times then give out the ‘gap’ text for students to fill in or distribute the ‘gap’ text, and students guess the missing words before hearing the song.

Teaching Notes

iii) Play the song again – and check the words against the full text. iv) Give out the ‘exercise’ page for your song. Exercise A is always a skim reading one connecting the little pictures with lines in the song and then sorting them into the order in which they first occur in the song. This is best done in pairs. v) Exercises B C D E are variously for comprehension, or to prompt discussion on the themes of the songs (drawing on personal experiences). They provide vocabulary building tasks and require closer examination of language, for example, rhymes or colloquialisms. vi) Exercise F asks students to give the song a score out of 5 points and can be used as a starting point for discussing types of music and preferences. If you are using Heartland primarily as easy listening. i) let the CD be playing as students arrive. The mix of lively numbers and slower ballads creates a pleasant atmosphere. Have the full texts of the songs visible (on wall/whiteboard) for interested students to look at. ii) play the songs again informally in the background while students are, for example, changing activities, getting ready to leave. Be ready to respond to requests for the words.

Another Lover

But it’s all a dream, it’s all a fantasy I’m still strung out and stuck on this balcony My eyes are fixed to the last ship leaving the bay I can wait for you as promised on the edge of the world But I can only wait for so long when I’ve got noone here to hold Come to me now I’m so lonesome and blue I guess there will never be another lover in this world like you

I’ll come down to meet you at the pier As you step from the ship I’ll hold your body near And kiss those lips I’ve wished to kiss so many times before I’ll say I’m glad to see you I’m glad you came You’ll try to play it cool but I’ll know that you feel just the same The distance you put between our lives has made you hungry too There will never be another lover in this world like you

Look over the river what do I see I see a woman and she’s coming after me She’s bringing everything I need she’s bringing her love I’ve been stuck in this fortress for ninety nine years With no arms around me, no voice to calm my fears Playing with solitude, I’m praying for you to come through There will never be another lover in this world like you
