LIVEN UP CLASSROOM WITH MUSIC My Workshop at Bilgi University In the session, I talked about why we should use songs in EFL classes. Music is everywhere in our lives. We listen to songs when we are happy, angry, sad or when we need inspiration or when we want to relax. We go out of our homes with our songs, we travel with them, we wait with them, we shop with them. So we can teach with them. Music can be used to teach grammar : at the presentation stage of a grammar point or while reviewing listening : gap fill exercises, matching to teach listening for gist or detail vocabulary: to teach or increase vocab by asking your students to replace the words with a synonym, antonym or a near synonym. reading: songs are authentic texts and they can be used for comprehension, discussion and teaching culture writing: you can use songs for teaching writing. While doing all these we can always use web 2.0 to motivate our students so they can add their own content to the material. Musical Reactions Play an instrumental piece. 1.

It sounds it will work well with young learners yet sometimes the teenagers also would like to do something like this. • Choose some words from the song you will use in the class and prepare word cards. Stick the words to the board. • Divide students into two teams (or groups if you have a big class). Work with the words for a while. • When the class is ready tell them each team will stand in a line in front of the board. • Play the song. • When a student at the front of the line hears a word in the song, s/he runs to the board and takes the card for the team. • Game continues until all the words have been removed from the board. • The team with the most cards wins. • Give each team a copy of the lyrics with blanks. image credit :
