FIRST THURSDAY LISTENING


Dear families, 
every Thursday we finish our lessons listening to song that it has  been previously chosen by the students. The proposals must follow two rules: no swearwords on the lyrics and no violence on the song video. We have a long list of suggestions, so far.

The Thursday listening are organized as follow: we will listen the same song four sessions in a row. The first Thursday the students will be given the entire lyrics, instead the second and third Thursday the lyrics will have missing words to be found out by them. Finally, the fourth Thursday the students will be given the lyrics, again with gaps (missing words). These gaps will be a mix of the blanks worked on the previous lessons. In this case, the fourth session, the activity will be corrected by the teacher and marked. The students will listen to the song twice and, depending on the level of difficulty of the song, they will have the lyrics on the video.

The goal of this activity is to practice the correct English pronunciation. Obviously, it is impossible for the students to learn all the words that appear in a song, but I believe that some new vocabulary will be acquired. Moreover, singing a song trying to follow a model is one of the best ways to improve their pronunciation.

The first song of this activity is:

Hola,
els dijous solem acabar les classes amb l'audició d'una cançó que és triada prèviament pels infants de la classe. Les cançons proposades havien de seguir dues normes: la lletra no pot tenir paraules malsonants i en el vídeo no hi pot haver imatges violents o inapropiades. Ja tenim una llarga llista de propostes.

Els Thursday listening funcionen de la següent manera: escoltarm la mateixa cançó durant 4 dijous seguits. El primer dijous els alumnes tindran tota la lletra. El segon i el tercer dijous els alumnes tindran la lletra però hi faltaran paraules que hauran de trobar mentre escolten la cançó. Finalment, el quart dijous tindran també la lletra amb buits (que seran una mescla dels buits del segon i tercer dijous) i serà un excercici que comptarà amb una nota numèrica. Els alumnes podran escoltar la cançó dues vegades, i depenent de la seva dificultat, tindràn la lletra en el vídeo o no.

L'objectiu d'aquest excercici és passar-ho bé i practicar la correcte pronuncia. És impossible que aprenguin totes i cada una de les paraules que aparèixen a la cançó però segur que algunes de noves seran adquirides i segur que cantaran imitant el model, per tant millorant la seva pronúncia.

La primera cançó que estam treballant és:

"Mamma Mia"  by ABBA







That's all folks: enjoy the song!!
Només em queda afegir: gaudiu de la cançó!!
