Сценарий фестиваля английской песни

Time runs fast and we know our lives as English teachers are vital to increase the motivation and  interest of our students when they learn English in a non real context, thus we consider  music as a relevant factor (using songs) in the EFL classroom. 

 BENEFITS

• An effective way  to motivate and  break  the possibly boredom in the classroom. 

• To promote the abilities such as singing, dancing and body language.

• Making from the classroom atmosphere less formal and the students feel more at ease.

• Integrating the four skills ( L- S- W- RC) and enriching  gradually  the lessons. 

• The English songs are a full-value teaching material that should be used frequently in the classroom.

• Creating extra-curricular activities where the students practice the foreing language.

• Enhancing the whole student-socially, cognitively and artistically. (MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES)  

Taking into account all mentioned above we planned and organized English Song Festival as a motivational strategy to increase the students´ participation in activities that promote the use of  foreign language.

Goal: to enhance student’s participation in a musical activity that promotes the use of this foreign language.

Forms: 8-11

Time: from 3.00 pm to 5.00 pm
