Teaching grammar in ESP classroom (in technical colleges)

English for Arts


University study programs in the field of Art also include English language as a course for students. Sometimes it can be an elective course, but sometimes it’s mandatory. Even if it does not stand as ESP, only as English Language lecturers usually try to fit into the needs of the future artists. There are books offered particularly for this branch of English, but sometimes it is hard to get to them, especially when it comes to countries in the Balkan where it is complicated to order a book, let alone ask the students to buy books online. In that case, the teacher should find a way how to make the class more attractive when there is grammar to teach. It can’t be said that it/s easy, instead there is a lot of preparation needed. For instance, if the lesson is about Conditional clauses, more specifically Second Conditional a teacher can use a song in the classroom. Such example is the song of Beyonce titled “If I were a boy”. The students can listen to the song in the beginning, and the lyrics should be shown on screen. After listening, they can be given worksheets with the lyrics of the song and some gaps which should be filled in after listening to the song again. The following lines are taken from the lyrics:

If I were a boy - Beyonce
Even just for a day
I'd roll outta bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted and go
Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
I'd kick it with who I wanted
And I'd never get confronted for it
Cause they'd stick up for me
If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl

I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he's taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
