Personally, I think music is always an excellent way to motivate, learn and develop students skills. But EFA groups are very particular. If you think they feel confortable enough to do it, don īt hesitate. I īm sure it will be a success. However, you can also prepare them to act as you assistants, I mean, they can play the role of an Englsh teacher and they must teach this Aged group how to greet someone and how to present themselves (elementary information).

I have already worked with these kind of groups and  they are very particular indeed. They can love the English language, but they can also hate it! We (teachers) just need to keep them motivated, trying to respect the programme, but also trying to focus on some topics they feel more familiar with.

I hope you have a good time with them. It īs always a fantastic experience to teach adults.

Maybe you don īt need to prepare at all. Sometimes students provide a lot of material to work with during the lessons.

 

Put the students into groups dealing with different tasks.

- What do hey think about the International women īs day? How did it change through their lifetime? Did they celebrate it?

- What do their housbands or children think about this special day? Was it really always special? did they get any presents or pleasant suprises?

- How did the role of a woman change dduring their life?

-What/Where/When was their first shopping/ kiss/ success/ disapointement........

- What was their first food to cook/reciepe...first dress they bought.....

....and simmilar things.

They may list all those ideas and they can change the groups to discuss as much as possible.

 

Good luck. :)
