Here is an example of how you can use the framework I’ve described in the previous article: A Framework To Design Any Listening Lesson (Premium Content) to teach a love song.
Pre-Listening:
- Ss brainstorm kinds of songs.
- Ss talk about their favourite songs.
- Ss predict some words and expressions that might be in a love song.
While-Listening:
- Ss listen to the song (the first time) and decide if the song is happy or sad.
- Ss listen again (the second time) and order the lines or verses of the song.
- Ss listen for the third time to check their answers and to correct the errors in a summary of the song.
Post-Listening:
1. Focus on content:
- Discuss with students what they liked/don’t like about the song.
- Ask them whether they will buy it and why/why not.
- Ask students to write a review about the song for a newspaper or a website.
- Ask students to suggest another verse for the song.
2. Focus on language:
- Ss look at the song and identify all the verb forms.
- Ss underline the new words in the song and guess their meanings.
- Ss make notes of common collocations within the song.
- Ss identify phrasal verbs in the song and tell their meanings using the dictionary.
Final Word
In this post, I showed you how I could exploit the framework I described before to design a listening lesson.
And you, too. You can use this framework to design any listening lesson to develop students’ listening skills and increase their language awareness as well.
