TEACHING TENSES with MUSIC: 'going to FUTURE SONG – fun fluency practice

21/9/2015

ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS: Try teaching and LEARNING GRAMMAR with fun repetitive songs - my experience is that even beginners can learn more complicated grammatical structures when they are used repetitively in a song. I added some prepositions and collocations to my originally simpler song. Try it out for yourselves - you'll be surprised!!

You can download the song below:

Have fun with it and learn!

Great IDEA! I teach tenses via colors
Based on my experience for 35 years I’ve developed TOT.
TOT-"Tenses On Timeline" -A COLOR-CODED KIT
to study the tenses in a simple, quick , easy & unique way.
TOT- An innovative VISUAL AID to illustrate the tenses.
It’s all about BEING & DOING!
As you well know grammar is the foundation of language.

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.

ENGLISH (native)
ITALIAN (native)
GERMAN (C2)
