This engaging B2-level ESL lesson uses Hozier’s song "Too Sweet" to explore language, imagery, and personal identity through music. Students begin by watching the music video and sharing initial reactions, helping to build emotional connection and context. They then reconstruct key song lyrics using vivid idiomatic expressions and analyze their meanings in context. Vocabulary is reinforced through a matching activity that helps clarify figurative language commonly found in music and poetry. Learners also dive into character analysis, discussing the personalities and values of the song's narrator and his partner to explore themes of compatibility, lifestyle, and authenticity. The lesson ends with a sing-along to promote pronunciation and fluency.
