Autumn Time! Lesson & Activity Plan

«Autumn Time!»  is a lesson plan that aims at working on musical aspects in the English class. These activities are based on the MOVIC methodology (Movement & Music in English) created by Berta Torras Vila.  Here’s a set of activities that are very engaging for pre-primary and primary school EFL learners.

This lesson and activity plan is intended to demonstrate how Music can be used to teach English. It aims to put together a structured 90 minute lesson using one of our most popular MOVIC activities. However, these activities can be implemented along several sessions or a whole semester (something I highly encourage).You can read more about this methodology in  L’escola del món’s website. 

Preview what it includes here (only pages 4, 8, 9, 14-17)

The digital lesson plan includes:

The Music objectives

The English objectives

Resources needed

Music suggestions to implement the activities

7 activities that put together a 90-minute lesson plan. However, I highly suggest to use these activities regularly while progressively making language structures more and more challenging as the students’ level of English improves.

34 pages long, including a Vivaldi’s Spring Musicogram, the images from the Musicogram ,  and 23 flashcards with Spring-related vocabulary.

These lesson plans are intended to be flexible guidelines on how to use Music to teach English in a meaningful way. Each teacher should (and is encouraged) to adapt them to their own teaching style. I hope that they will provide you with in-depth guidance for a series of activities that I have found to be particularly effective and engaging in my workshops.
