About Sing-along with Oxford
Sing-along with Oxford is a singing competition for children in Japan between the ages of 4 and 12.
Students enjoy learning English by performing a song from an Oxford coursebook.
The contest started in 2013 as the Everybody Up! Global Sing-along. This year, we are very excited to launch the competition in Japan, adding a variety of coursebooks to choose songs from, including Let's Go, Learn English with Dora the Explorer, Oxford Discover, and more.
It's simple. Teachers pick a song from an eligible coursebook and film the kids singing the song. You can use props, dance routines, costumes - anything you want to get all your students participating, using English and having fun!
Entries will be judged by a panel at Oxford University Press. The judges will select one winning entry from each age category and prizes will be awarded to the winners.
