Design and apply of a booklet with basic fill –in in the blanks of song lyrics

Abstract:

One of the biggest problems English learners face is the difficulty of understanding a conversation, a dialogue, a song, a movie; and that is a situation which is faced with great fear. As students of English, we also had that problem and we realized with great regret the absence of a booklet of listening with fun activities for the development of this skill. Therefore we considered the possibility of developing this material. We used many internet sources; investigated books on how to teach listening but they did not propose activities. We were really worried about this situation so we started over a research about this issue and we socialized the conflict with our fellowship teachers, parents, students, administrative staff and educational authorities who has helped us to resolve this problematical matter. The approaching of the investigation was focused on different search methods as the heuristic and the scientific methods; it also includes inves- tigation techniques as surveys and interviews that provided statistic data represented by graphics and charts of frequency. Throughout the analysis of the results we drew conclusions and made recommendations. Finally, some evidence as administrative documents, written interviews and pictures were added in the annex section. Knowing the preferences of today's students, we developed a booklet with current songs that they liked, but most important of all was the improve- ment of the listening skill.
