Music in Teaching English
Music in Teaching English
Music can be used in the classroom to create a learning environment; to build listening comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing skills; to increase vocabulary, and to expand cultural knowledge. Using Songs in Instruction Most classroom music activities focus on lyrics. They contain common, short words and many personal pronouns, the language is conversational time and place are usually imprecise (except for some folk ballads); the lyrics are often sung at a slower rate than words are spoken with more pauses between utterances, and there is repetition of vocabulary and structures. These factors allow learners to understand and relate to the songs.
A further benefit of pop song lyrics is that their meanings are melted, and, like poetry, allow for many different interpretations. Through songs, students discover the natural stretching and compacting of the stream of English speech. Students may summarize orally the action or theme of a song or give oral presentations about a song or musician, playing musical selections for the course. Many songs tell a story, and these stories can be rewritten or retold to practice narrative or summarizing. Pop songs are written to be easily understood and enjoyed.
As discussed above, they tend to use high frequency lyrics that have emotional content. This makes them strong candidates for word study or reinforcing words already learned through written means. If a series of songs is to be used, students can be teamed up and given a song to teach the class. However, the songs may also have idioms in them that might be difficult to explain, depending on the level of the students.
Cultural Knowledge Activities Songs can be used in discussions of culture. They are a rich source of information about human relations, ethics, customs, history, humor, and regional and cultural differences.
Selecting Music
1. Song lyrics should be clear and loud, not submerged in the instrumental music.
2. The vocabulary load for the song should be appropriate to the proficiency level.
3. Songs should be pre-screened for potentially problematic content, such as explicit language, references to violent acts or sex, or inappropriate religious allusions. Teachers will show care and effort when presenting songs they are especially fond of, their favorites are also good.
Finally, students are often strongly motivated to learn the lyrics of a new pop song or an old favorite they have heard and never understood, so their choices for classroom music should not be ignored.

About Halina's Karaoke ESL Edupunk
Halina's
Karaoke ESL Edupunk classes where my original materials to go with the
song.
As for “are there gender-based or L1-based
observable differences in their learning performance patterns in response to
these two kinds of presentations?"
I would say that all depends on the requirements
of particular learners as well as on our personal teaching preferences.
I introduce a new language by listening to real
conversations, and all lessons are made up of talking and listening only. I
teach grammar basically through situations with no reference to grammar rules
at all.
I don't
teach grammar rules and isolated vocabulary. I teach conversational language.
My adult students are not into “abstract
timelines or cartoon stick-figure-based presentations “.They want to speak the
language, so I focus on dialogs and communication skills.
This is the link to previous debate;
As a non-native English teacher, I can be
first-rate role model for my students who may not believe that they can ever
learn the target language ("I learned this language well so you can
too!").Personally I am against methods that emphasize learning about the
language but for learning by using the language/ Expressions, collocations,
models, patterns, language chunks......./
For my part, I don't approve grammar classes
explaining rules and language terminology.
Moreover, I believe, the sooner a student learns
to think in a foreign language, the faster she/he will learn. This can only
take place if no reference at all is made to L1. They must be free from the
interference of L1.
Maybe I am wrong?
On the top of this all, I distinguish that
anyone who is learning a second language wishes and dreams about communicating
as well as thinking in that language.
Teachers are duty-bound to take responsibility
of effectiveness and encouragement of their own students, I think.
PS traditional method teaches
you to read and write but not speak. Speaking is the main reason for learning a
language and the main motivational driver that keeps you trying and improving.

When to retire?
http://www.tonybates.ca/2014/04/15/time-to-retire-from-online-learning/
Lastly, I am concerned that the computer scientists seem to be taking over online education. Ivy League MOOCs are being driven mainly by computer scientists, not educators. Politicians are looking to computer science to automate learning in order to save money. Computer scientists have much to offer, but they need more humility and a greater willingness to work with other professionals, such as psychologists and teachers, who understand better how learning operates. This is a battle that has always existed in educational technology, but it’s one I fear the educators are losing. The result could be disastrous, but that’s a theme for a whole set of blog posts.

The Secret to a Long Successful Marriage
The secret to a happy marriage is kissing and saying 'I love you' 10 times a week and going on three dates a month, an American report has revealed.
The detailed study of 1,000 married Americans also found three surprise romantic gestures and 10 deep and meaningful conversations each month are key to a harmonious relationship.
Having three shared hobbies and interests and going on two vacations a year are also among the requirements for romantic bliss.

Wish to be updated
Despite that, the advances in ICT have reinforced expectations that we stay available after working hours. This has ripped away many of the former boundaries between work and leisure time. As a result we work more than before, often without any remunerative compensation.Whips are not necessarily being cracked.

In 2014, cyberstalking is more common than physical harassment, according to the researchers at Bedford University in England. Imbalanced individuals who obsess over others now have dozens of convenient online means by which to follow and attack their prey. Using email, sexting, Facebook, Twitter, FourSquare, and other social hubs, cyberstalkers can track someone's personal life quite easily. Cyberstalking is a sad and disturbing part of modern society, and things will only get worse before they get better.

Now that we live in an information age with zettabytes of data available, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to dig through all of it to find the useful chunks of information we might need. Thanks to Web 2.0, we’re now all content creators adding useful pieces of data every second through our tweets, our Facebook updates, our YouTube videos, photo uploads, our blog posts, our comments, our conversations and everything else we put online. As that big pile of data continues to grow, the problems associated with processing it within an ideal amount of time grow as well.

Luciano Pavarotti & Friends - We Are The World (LIVE) HD
There comes a time when we need a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And its time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can't go on pretending day by day
That someone, somehow will soon make a change
We are all a part of Gods great big family
And the truth, you know,
Love is all we need
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And its time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can't go on pretending day by day
That someone, somehow will soon make a change
We are all a part of Gods great big family
And the truth, you know,
Love is all we need

Easter Traditions Around the World
http://spoonful.com/easter/easter-traditions-around-world
In Poland, Easter Monday is marked by an activity known as "Śmigus-Dyngus” where people pour water all over each other. Young children run around the streets with water guns and buckets. The water is symbolic of a cleansing and rebirth as the season transitions to spring. It’s easy to have your kids try out this custom at home with any number of water games, like Fill ‘er Up, or with some plain old-fashioned water play. Just make sure you have your towels ready!

Easter Traditions from Around the World
http://www.womansday.com/life/easter-traditions-from-around-the-world-105074
Pouring water on one another is a Polish Easter tradition called Smingus-Dyngus. On Easter Monday, boys try to drench other people with buckets of water, squirt guns or anything they can get their hands on. Legend says girls who get soaked will marry within the year. The refreshing tradition has its origins in the baptism of Polish Prince Mieszko on Easter Monday in 966 AD

How You and Your Peers are Using Technology and What You Want to Learn More About
If educators, particularly in the latter stages of schooling, don’t see the connection between the modern workplace, technology, and the skills being taught in the classroom, then how are students supposed to learn how to succeed in their professional lives?
It’s also rather unfortunate that many educators don’t see technology as a tool to practice reading and writing, given the fact the it is increasingly the platform on which reading and writing are done (as opposed to paper). Am I missing something in this interpretation?

What language teachers can learn from Sugata Mitra (a subjective list)
- Don’t ignore the internet in your teaching.
- Prepare students for dealing with real problems, not for taking tests.
- Don’t expect all learning to involve teachers.
- Accept that things will be learned, used and misused outside the classroom.
- Recognize that there is some potential in teacherless, independent work on learners’ part.
- Don’t shy away from big questions.

The 4 Components of a DIY Professional Development Toolkit
http://www.edutopia.org/blog/4-components-diy-pd-toolkit-dave-guymon
Education has always been a reflection of broader cultural values. As such, the roles of teachers and students have evolved as our models of education have moved from one iteration to another. Teachers who once traveled to town to instruct a heterogeneous room full of passive learners on matters of rote memorization have come to adopt new roles and philosophies toward learning. As these new models have emerged, educators have been required to hone their skills and adapt to ever changing sets of priorities, needs and expectations.
Where such trainings were once the sole responsibility of state and district organizations, many teachers are now seeing the value of venturing out to amalgamate their own professional learning experiences. While no two paths are the same, there are four components of effective do-it-yourself (DIY) professional development that all educational professionals should consider.
