I hope that with these example lessons you will have your students communicate with each other on the topic of music to increase their proficiency in the language. In the speaker notes of the slides there are links to other documents and directions for how to do the activities. Notice the standards that I incorporated. I wanted students to react to music, talk about what music is for them as well as use their interpretive skills to understand the lyrics to a set of simple songs that correspond to their language level. These songs have high- frequency words for Novice learners and are therefore a good fit for the Novice learner’s interpretive work. I wish you the best as you use music to increase students’ proficiency.
