This outline is roughly based on a song by Bruno Mars (When I was your man). I think it is suitable for all levels, higher level students will produce more sophisticated language. As the topic is a failed relationship I think it would work better with adults

ReplyDeleteI think songs offer great opportunities for our classes beyond the fill in the blanks typical activities. Songs are motivating bombs in our classes, most of our students listen to music all the time and love it. It's amazing how they can improve pronunciation.Thinking about the inner voices in the song, the characters, metaphors, etc. can become extremely fruitful for their learning as well.
