Activity_The Lazy Song

Questa divertente attività è strutturata per essere realizzata in classe con l'ausilio di un supporto audio e di Internet. Utilizza, difatti, il sito Lyrics Training per un insieme di esercizi di listening comprehension e vocabulary expansion.

Lesson plan

Class:

• 1-3th year students
• elementary to intermediate level

Prerequisites:

• no specific prerequisites required

Lecture organisation:

• 50 mins. lesson + 1 extra lesson + follow-up Listening activity + post listening work on language + group work on translation

Teaching strategies and tools:

• Use of the Internet (youtube) to listen to the song and to watch the video for visual aids and better understanding of the lyrics
• Use of the papers with the fill-in the blanks activity
• Play and learn with the lyrics using www.lyricstraining.com as a final check-out or follow-up to retain new lexis and slang
• Use the monolingual dictionary and work in groups to translate and understand the song together

Objectives:

• Thanks to music, students will learn new expressions and modern lexis having fun
• Thanks to the repetition of the tune and the visual reinforcement offered by the video they should remember all the new words and verbs more easily.
• Grammar topics can be easily revised or introduced by the song itself: any/no/some, prepositions, future tenses…
• • Effective use of the dictionary and practice on English synonyms and definitions and their translation
• • Preparation of a further activity on music/lyrics to be done at home by the students and then discussed together in an interview (see attachment with a model of paper to be given and completed)
