By means of this song Camila Cabello pays tribute to the city of Havana, Cuba, where she was born.
"Havana" is about love, a much common theme in songs, but the story in this song is not only about falling in love with someone from Havana, it is mainly about being in love with a place.
A song-based listening activity, "Havana" is a resource to practise listening, stress, rhythm and intonation, apart from some grammar aspects and vocabulary.
The learners should read the lyrics a couple of times before starting the activity. Then, they should listen or watch the video and follow the instructions on each slide: either to fill in the blanks or choose the right word. However, on slide 5 they will have to rearrange 3 lines in the stanza.
Phonetics will play a key role in this activity and the students’ passive vocabulary will be activated while new vocabulary will be acquired.
"Havana" Listening Exercise is suitable for A2 (post-beginners), B1 & B2 (pre-intermediate & intermediate) students.
I hope you enjoy this activity and keep finding these materials inspiring and
interesting.
