Talk about music: 100 questions for English learners to model language

Stimulate discussion in English with these conversation prompt cards designed to elicit discussion about all things related to music. With this set of 100 conversation prompts, help your students encounter, notice, and practise language patterns and collocations commonly used to form and answer questions in English.

Questions are colour-coded and grouped into common language patterns, with repetition of question forms designed to encourage language uptake as students share their answers.

Example questions and patterns:

What is the most played instrument in the world?
Who is the greatest singer ever?
Which do you like better, jazz or classical music?
Which is more difficult, playing guitar or playing piano?
Who was John Lennon?
What is your favourite album?
What genre of music don’t you like?
Can you play any instruments?
Have you ever played a live concert?
How much do you know about hip-hop?
Do you listen to music while driving?
Do you listen to music when you are sad?

…. and more!

These cards are designed for intermediate levels and above, but are suitable for most levels depending on language goals and careful selection of questions. They are appropriate for all ages of learners from early teens to adults, regardless of if they are currently at school or graduated some time ago.

These cards ensure your students learn naturally, increasing the fluency, accuracy, and vocabulary while discussing their own knowledge and feelings about music.

These conversation prompts allow you students to identify and learn common English patterns in a natural, communicative way, while making the class personal to them and their ideas.
