Using music in the Language classroom when you can’t sing, dance, or play an instrument
The benefits of using music as an aid to language acquisition have been well documented, but what can a Language teacher do if they can’t sing, dance or play a musical instrument? How can a non-musician tap into the rich world of music and bring this world to their classroom? In this workshop, participants will explore:
- The cognitive benefits of music
- Music as an aid to memory
- Music as a reflection of target language culture
- Music as a stimulus for language production
- Ways to use instrumental music
This is a hands-on workshop and participants will come away with a host of new ideas for activities as well as teaching materials that they will develop during the workshop. Although the examples given in this workshop will come from French, the ideas presented are general in nature and can be applied in most Language classrooms, so teachers of all languages are encouraged to attend.
