Enrich Your Language (SONG)

Assalamu'alaikumWBT..
Hi everyone ..
Fellow teachers and students..
I am very excited to share with you some fun ways to learn English.

Lets Start with the first activity...

Songs

Learning language by songs can be fun and effective at the same time.

Please, don't be shy! Never!

You can simply sing along any songs that you want.

Follow these steps;

1.       Choose appropriate and interesting songs.

2.       Study the lyrics and listen to the correct pronunciation.

3.       Try to sing along.

4.       Repeat the songs multiple times.

5.       Let's KARAOKE..

I myself love learning through songs. I use them in my class. 

How? 

Make sure to print out and make sure everyone get the worksheet.

Then, follow these next steps;

1.       Ask the students to find grammar items in the lyrics. Please don’t rush all at once. For example, the song has many verbs in it, and then you ask the students to circle all the verbs that they can find in the lyric.

2.       Study the lyric and listen to the song 1 time.

3.       Teacher selects some rare words and asks the students to pronounce the selected word.

4.       Students need to listen to the song one more time. This time make sure they are paying attention to the lyrics and pronunciation of words. Urge them to utter each word and try to sing along.

5.       Now, try to point out the chorus/a phrase/a paragraph and ask them to read/sing aloud.

6.       The students need to sing the song again for enrichment purpose.

7.       If you are intended to teach them a little bit about tenses, you can try to show the students the 5 forms of the verb. For example; eat, eats, eating, ate, eaten.

I usually use song by 

Yusuf Islam – Your Mother and 

Miley Cyrus – Butterfly Fly Away 

for VERB exercise.
