THE INFLUENCE OF MUSIC ON ENGLISH LANGUAGE - MUSIC AND SONGS IN TEACHING ENGLISH VOCABULARY USING DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES (PART 2)

-


🎵 Songs can be explored in many ways and here we continue with more activities...

Choose the right word: the students listen to the song and choose the word that they hear.

👶For beginners, you can give the students two different words that mean the same thing but which don’t sound similar.

  • “Yesterday, all my problems/troubles seemed so far away”
👨For intermediate level, you can give the students two different words that sound similar, which is harder to distinguish:
  • “Yesterday, all my doubles/troubles seemed so far away”

Put the words in the correct order:

Much more difficult. In this activity, students can practice grammar:

"my yesterday away, trouble so far everything seemed".


Matching:
  • Give the students the first half of each line and ask them to match them with the second half. For the intermediate level, you can divide each line into three parts:


Find the mistakes:
  • Give the students the lyrics of a song with mistakes in it so that the students can correct them.

For example… “Yesterday, all my problems seemed so far away”
or… “Yesterday, all of my troubles seemed so far away”
or… “Yesterday, all my troubles seemed far away”




See you in the next post 😉
