To provide fluency and accuracy speaking practice in a conversation in the context of music
To provide lexis and functional language helpful for speaking about music
Procedure (45-48 minutes)
T will play a few popular songs. T will ask Ss if they have heard any of the songs. T will elicit students to talk more about the songs they have heard about with questions such as: ""Do you know who plays this song?" and "When did you first heard the song?" T will use this to get students interested in the topic.
T will play a 6 minute long video about how music makes you feel different depending on culture. T wil ask students to discuss their thoughts on the video in breakout rooms with the help of 2 questions: "Do you agree that culture changes how you feel about music?" and "Have you listened to music from other cultures? Which one?". Students will have 2 minutes to discuss their answers.
T will provide useful lexis to communicate regarding the topic of music. T will go into MFP with the following words: Instrumentation, Vocals, Lyrics, Composer, Beat and Chorus T will teach students some sentences useful to talk about music, such as: "I enjoy/like listening to band/singer/musician" "Band/singer/musician is really good!" "Song makes me feel… " "Song has some slow/quick/gradual parts that I like."
T will prompt students to produce their own language on the topic with these questions: What is your favourite song? Who plays it? What are the lyrics about? How are the instrumentals/vocals? How does the song make you feel? Is there a music genre you specifically don’t like? Why? Do you think music can have power in our lives? T will send Ss into breakout rooms for them to share their answers in pairs
T will take errors made by students in the activities and provide corrections on them in an open class
