HOW ABOUT LEARNING PHRASAL VERBS WITH A SONG?

Phrasal verbs are verb phrases that have idiomatic meanings. Because what is meant is not obvious from the individual words that make up the phrase, students of English often find the topic very confusing. In other words, ‘phrasal verbs' don't seem to make any sense! Whether it is true or not, you can’t be proficient in English without using multiword verbs, right? 

All things considered, I’ve devised a song worksheet to help students learn phrasal verbs in context. The song is called ‘Photograph’, by Nickleback, and talks about our younger years, or better, it is sheer nostalgia. 

The worksheet can be used not only to encourage students to talk about their memories, but also to help them grasp the meaning of several phrasal verbs.The tasks may be used with both intermediate and post-intermediate students. Learners are expected to fill in the gaps, do a matching exercise, learn new vocabulary and sing along with the lyrics.  

Listen to the song by getting access on https://www.youtube.com/watch? Have fun!
