Event
HomeMusic in the EFL Classroom
Saturday, February 23rd, 2013, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Speaker: ETJ Fukuoka Committee
Discussion/Workshop: Music
Music can play an important role in English classrooms with students of all ages. But what can we do to get the most out of music? How do we get students to engage with music? How can we inspire students with music? Questions for thought and discussion (feel free to bring your own, too!):
- What are the purposes of songs in the classroom?
- What roles do they have?
- What are the goals of songs and chants?
- What kind of language should songs have?
- Should songs have actions to them? What actions? How do we come up with them?
- How can we improve or build upon songs?
- How do we introduce songs?
- How can we make our own songs?
- How can we encourage students to listen outside of class?
Teachers of all ages and levels of students are welcome.
Social afterwards:
Enjoy drinks and dinner in Nishijin after the meeting. It will be a great chance to focus on teaching, exchange ideas, and network with other teachers in the Fukuoka community!
