- Why are there more lesson plans for the higher levels?
- Songs are great examples of authentic language to bring into the classroom. Being written with native speakers in mind however, means they’re naturally more suited to higher level lessons - and this is reflected in the lesson plans offered here at Tefl Tunes. That doesn’t mean to say that lower level classes can’t benefit from song based ESL lessons too. We will work towards building our database in this area in the future.
