X2135 The Soundtrack of a Generation: Rock Music in the 60s & 70s (B1-C1)

Some songs don’t just entertain — they change the way we see the world. In this course, we explore the music of legends like Bob Dylan, The Beatles, and David Bowie. We’ll listen to their iconic tracks, talk about the stories and ideas behind the songs, and discover how music

shaped a generation. If you're able to talk about lyrical or artistic ideas in English, you’ll fit right in.

Activities and Methods:

• Artist Biographies: Short readings on iconic artists like Dylan, The Beatles, and Bowie to build context.

• Listening & Lyric Analysis: Listen to selected tracks and break down the lyrics for deeper meaning.

• Group Discussions: Focus on major themes in the music such as protest, identity, and change. Encourage students to relate to the songs’ messages.

• Vocabulary & Idiomatic Expressions: Focus on language used in the songs, highlighting unique phrases and expressions.
