Teaching Procedures Tips
Step 1 Lead in
The T can guide Ss to brainstorm the kinds of music so that
Ss can be more involved in the class and their prior
knowledge can be activated.
The T can lead in the topic by asking Ss a few questions like
these:
Do you like music?
What kind of music do you prefer?
Why do you like it?
The T can present some target sentences and guide Ss tp find
the rule and perceive the target structure . Then the T can
present some pictures of related words or phrases in this part
and pre-teach the vocabulary to prepare for the following
activities.
1I like folk music. Because it makes me feel relaxed.
I like music that can make me feel relaxed.
I like pop music. Because I can sing along with it.
I like music that I can sing along with.

Step 2 Presentation & Practice
1a
To set the scene for activity 1a, the T may want to draw Ss’
attention to the picture, encourage them to focus on what the
people are saying and to speculate on what these people
might have been doing based on what is in the picture. Then
the T can invite Ss to share with the class the sentences they
have written.
Suggested answers:
...is relaxing.
...has a strong beat.
...is sentimental.
...is traditional.
...is modern.
...is associated with my culture.
1b
Before listening, the T should make sure that Ss understand
the requirement of the task and the meaning of these
sentences in 1b.
While listening, the T can play the recording without stop
for the first time and Ss finish the task in 1b. This step
aims to develop Ss’ skills of grasping the target information.
Then the T can play a second time to check Ss’ answers.
This time, the T can stop at the key point and check Ss’
answers by asking them to say the full sentences.
Answers:
Tony— music that has great lyrics, music that I can sing along
with
Betty— music that I can dance to, music that I can sing along
with
1b
While listening, the T may play the recording a third time and
ask Ss to repeat the key sentences. The T may also ask some
questions to consolidate Ss’ understanding of the dialog:
Does Betty like the Cool Kids? Why?
What does Tony think of the Cool Kids?
2What kind of music does Tony prefer?
What’s Tony’s favorite band?
Then the T can play the video about 1b and have Ss try to
imitate the
pronunciation and intonation of the dialog.
After listening, the T can conduct a post-listening discussion by
using
these prompts:
Do you know of any music with great lyrics? What are the lyrics
about?
Do you have a favourite band? Why do you like this band?
1c
The T can invite Ss to role-play the conversation in 1c. Then
the Ss
can work in pairs to make conversations using the target
structure. During this step, the T should pay attention to the
fluency of Ss’ speaking instead of the accuracy. Just offer
help to the Ss in need and don’t over correct their small
mistakes so that Ss can speak as much as possible. Before
conducting this activity, the T may focus on some useful
words for talking about music, movies and books.
