Along with the printable version I have also provided 2 additional Google Slides versions (Google Slide Access Link included with download). The first version is simply the printable version uploaded onto Google Slides. The second version contains the card templates. These are Fully EDITABLE blank versions of the cards in the set.
Card Shape, Colour-Codes and Topics are left unchanged, however now you can add your own text and customise the questions. Each page is reproducible, allowing you to create your own version of the cards.
Inside the zip folder you will find a sub-folder called “Graphics & Clipart”, containing the individual graphic elements and clipart used in the cards, so you can create your own version of the cards if you wish to do so . Each image has transparent background so it easily blends in with any resource.

The idea of Language Through Music is to learn Spanish by looking at modern popular hits from the Latin American music world. Songs are chosen following a specific criteria. They will generally cover topics of historical/social/political interest tackling issues affecting modern Latin American society, thereby creating opportunity for discussion and practice of oral skills. Furthermore it this gives the teacher the possibility interlink a wider ranger of activities within the same lesson/set of lesson. Some songs may be chosen due to a particularly interesting use of language and/or presence of particular expressions that are worth looking at in detail. Due to copyright reasons I cannot include the original audio file with the material, however all of the songs will be widely available on the net/Youtube/iTunes and I will provide a working link.
The use of realia such modern songs in the learning process will give the student more of a feel of real-world application of his language skills as well as an enriching cultural experience in itself.
