It is a good idea to do a little groundwork before presenting the song. Students tend to react best when they can identify some familiar elements right from the start. It is better not to have students look at the lyrics during this phase, allowing them to listen more carefully. 3- Review the song you are going to present, and create a list of target words for the lesson.
Students can listen more actively if they are listening for specific examples.
These words can later be used to create associations and word clusters. Another idea is to list several words in English, and ask them to listen for the equivalents in Spanish. The whole idea is to help students attach meaning to what they hear, and encourage mental associations as they listen to the song for the first time. You may also want to talk about what they think the song will be about based on the title, or whether they have heard the song before. 1- Play the song, at least 2 times from beginning to end.
