| Title | Spanish songs for teaching the subjunctive |
| Body | Editor's note: A recent discussion on the FLTEACH listserv generated the following suggestions for using songs to teach the subjunctive. ----- Four songs that come to mind for teaching the subjunctive at the high school level are: 1. A Dios le pido (Juanes) 2. Ojala que llueva cafe (Juan Luis Guerra) 3. Que vuelvas (Shakira) 4. Que me quedes tu (Shakira) For interactive exercises to accomapny "Ojala que llueva cafe" go to Prof. Nelson's website at Colby College. The website she has created for Spanish teachers and their students is remarkable. It can be found at: http://www.colby.edu/~bknelson/exercises/index.html Watson, G.

Re: Spanish songs for the Subjunctive + useful websites for Spanish teachers. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (1 Nov. 2004). ----- To reinforce the subjunctive tense, I've used Juan Luis Guerra's (I think that's his name) "Ojala que llueva cafe" . You can use it as a cloze exercise -- it's a catchy tune and the students enjoy it. Evans, P. Re: Spanish songs for the Subjunctive + useful websites for Spanish teachers. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (1 Nov. 2004). ----- "Que canten los niños" by José Luis Perales is a good one. Easy to understand and sing along with, also.
