Songs & Music & Their Learning Potential

The students were split into groups and given the lyrics of a song ("Waiting for Love" by Avicii). The lyrics were written on different pieces of paper. The students received the lines mixed up. They had to properly order the lyrics. Then, the students listened to the song, and they all discussed certain expressions and vocabulary issues.
The activity was meant to engage all the students in the process of speaking English. Furthermore, all students enjoyed the song and confirmed that it was a very successful activity.
