Objectives

The learner can consolidate vocabulary.

Materials

• Song related to the treated topic
• Copy of the lyrics for each learner

Instructions

• Listen to a song, without the sound. Listening without sound gives the learner the chance to pick up nonverbal background information.
• Listen to the song several times, with sound.
• Ask the learners what the song is about.
• Ask the learners what words they have recognized.
• Write the words in the right order on the blackboard.
• Listen to the song again and complete the text.
• Explain the meaning of new words.
• Give a copy of the text to each learner.
• Listen to the song again, while the learners are reading the text.
• Sing the song together.

Variant

Ask the learners to use a part of a sentence from the song and finish it in a different way.
This is an interesting exercise to consolidate frequently used chunks, e. g. If only I could …, Yesterday…

Tips for the instructor

• Give different listening assignments, e.g. Do you hear colors, animals, names of people…? What words or phrases do you hear several times?
• Share the link of the song.
