Here's how you can seamlessly integrate music into your lessons using Roxxem’s language learning platform.

Step 1: Find the Perfect Song for Your Lesson

The first step in your Música Miércoles lesson plan is finding the right song. Roxxem's song search feature makes this process simple! With just a few clicks, you can filter through hundreds of popular Spanish songs for language learning. Search by vocabulary topics, grammar points, or even by CEFR levels.

This means you can reinforce language concepts with the world’s most popular content—music.

If we're teaching present tense and vocabulary on travel, let's choose "La Gozadera" by Gente de Zona as an example!

Step 2: Use Roxxem’s Auto-Generated Lesson Slides

Once you've chosen your song, Roxxem provides customized lesson slides for beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. These slides include pre- and post-listening questions, an artist biography, and Chatmats to enhance student engagement and understanding.

The translations are embedded into the lyrics, and students can easily click on any word to get an immediate definition through Roxxem's dynamic dictionary. This feature enhances language comprehension and makes the lesson more interactive.
