SONGS in the classroom:  GOTTA/GONNA/WANNA/AIN’T – intermediate / advanced / teens / adults

Songs always bring a breath of fresh air into the classroom and are greeted with joy.  I usually try to choose songs, which are not only clear and fairly easy to understand but have meaningful content for language learners such as grammar, phrasal verbs or vocabulary pertinent to what we are studying.

For intermediate/advanced students I find that WHERE IS THE LOVE? – Black Eyed Peas is rather fast and has difficult vocabulary but repetitively stresses various language structures including phrasal verbs and slang abbreviations like gotta/gonna/wanna/ain’t.  The song is an opportunity to discuss many controversial subjects and expressions which I have noted at the end of the song.  All in all a catchy tune with profound ideas which can lead to interesting conversations. 

You can download the worksheets to the song below.  Feel free to delete or translate the Italian into another language.

Hope you have fun with it!
Susan

    My name is Susan Brodar, born in London into a multilingual family and brought up bilingual English / Italian.

    I went to school in London until 15 when we moved to Germany where I finished my British education at Munich International School. I started teaching Italian at evening classes aged only 17 and studied Mass Communications and Journalism at Munich University.

    I continued teaching parallel to interpreting at trade fairs and business meetings as well doing translations. After working at the Italian Institute for Foreign Trade for a year I married my Italian globetrotting companion in 1983 and we set up our home near Venice, Italy where we continue to live with our two teenaged children.

    Having taken my British High School-leaving ‘A’ Level exams in English, Italian, French & German I am completely fluent in all four languages and am taking a DELE certification in Spanish to complement them.
