The Lyrics Project (Wordplay)

Wordplay

Wordplay is an exciting program between American English, the U.S. Department of State, American Music Abroad, and American Voices to bring music and lyrics into the English Language classrooms across the world. Featuring artists from the American Music Abroad program, Wordplay links up the drivers of the English language with people learning it to create a fresh take on learning. It enhances our understanding of English in the way that it is spoken and adapted, especially through music.
