14.  Oral Song project - oral presentations
Students in pairs/small groups choose
a singer, group or musical genre. They
prepare an oral presentation, including
extracts from songs, a biography of
the group and description of the
instruments used.
 Then you can listen to the song.

15.  Ear training and pronunciation
Remove all the rhyming words from a popular
song. Give the students those words mixed
up on a piece of paper or on the board.
Match the words which rhyme. Then try to
guess what the song might be about.
Listen to the song and put the rhyming
ending words in order as they hear them.
Then give out a lyrics sheet and they insert
the missing rhymes. This is good for vowel
contrasts and practice of key vowels or
consonants.
