TMTE Techniques for Teaching Grammar_Using a Song.

Using a song

Teaching Techniques

1. The teacher finds a song which has examples of the target language.
2. She/he does a lead-in activity and plays the song once for gist.
3. She/he teaches vocabulary first (e.g. animals) but also the grammatical structure (e.g. It likes …).
4. Learners match pictures and words.
5. Then they act like animals. They mime the actions and sing along.
6. Learners then listen to the song again with an activity that focuses on the target language, e.g. a gap-fill.
7. Learners then play games and do activities to practise using the structure from the song.
