Rocking the EFL Classroom

We are all familiar with the idea of using songs to support the language development of younger learners, but what about teens (and even adults)? Don’t they deserve some musical engagement?

In this session we will explore how to use popular music such as pop and rock as a tool for language learning for these older students. We will discuss how to use songs to improve key listening skills, expand our students’ vocabulary, deepen their cultural understanding, and get them talking. We will look at a practical example of how to go about selecting songs, creating tasks and integrating them into lessons, making our learning environment more dynamic and motivating.
