Because you loved me

Fullscreen Because you loved me by Lucka20 Date: 23 - Nov - 2008 Level: intermediate Age: +14 Description: Some time last week a teacher asked for suggestions to use songs to practice simple past. I mentioned "Because you loved me" performed by Celine Dion. Then, I´ve decided to prepare this online activity with the song. This song is good to review past tense - most of the verbs in the song are irregular ones. I hope you find this activity useful! Your feedback is always welcome!

Victoria-Ladybug WOW! Great work! I loe this song!          posted by Victoria-Ladybug 0 Thanks a lot! Victoria-Ladybug I love it!          posted by Victoria-Ladybug 0 Lucka, I ´d like to make a suggestion. May I ? The song is very beautiful, but it´s not a slow song. It will be more effectie to have multiple choice exercise here( you can easily add this element/) .Or just add a word bank before the task with irregular verbs....,because it´s too difficult to complete the song this way and also it won´t take so much time in the lesson(SPELLING is not an easy point for some students, you know..! It seems to me that the students will enjoy working on this song more having the verbs list! Thanks a lot! greetings, from Victoria jujuka           posted by jujuka 0 Thanks Lucka, I love it the way it is :) leva Great!Thanks for sharing!          posted by leva 0 Natyfuchi           posted by Natyfuchi 0 I like the idea of using songs to revise a grammar point, but I found this particular exercise to be rather difficult for my students. Although the song is not fast, and Celine´s pronunciation is neat and clear, having to type the past tenses is too much for the students. Besides, the song is quite long, and they end up losing interest. I think it would be much easier for them to enjoy the activity as well as have fun if there were choices, or something like that. Anyway, thanks for the idea! neska10           posted by neska10 0 thank you so much nice2011 Because you loved me          posted by nice2011 20110306 Great work. I´ve done something similar.
