HomeSing Your Life: Effectively Using Pop Lyrics in EFL
Saturday, April 21st, 2007, 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Speaker: Paul Hullah, Miyazaki University
Paul Hullah offers research findings suggesting that, though pop music forms L2 learners' most frequent meaningful exposure to English outside the classroom, this resource is inappropriately presented in popular contemporary tertiary level EFL coursebooks. Recommendations will be made as to how lyrics might more effectively be 'personlized' and utilized to promote self-expression, as participants tackle some original lyric-based activities developed by the presenter. Comments and criticisms regarding the proposed innovative approach are invited.
