World Music Around Us
Can you imagine life without music? Of course, not. It exhilarates, it heals , its rhythm can pace our work. No talent is needed to dive into its mysteriously enchanting and liberating world. Using some ELT methods while listening to various audio clips, students/participants of different age/language level can learn more about cultural significance of music. Even the final quiz checking what has been learnt will be fun. These ideas develop all 4 language skills while also teaching about how music has been incorporated in different cultures at various times.
For teachers who teach any age-group with any level of English
Tijana Nešić Ristić: “A curious and enthusiastic teacher/ teacher trainer, working (for over twenty years) with various age groups and levels, putting emphasis on cross-curricular content, passionately trying (and, hopefully, succeeding) to apply approach applicable to different learning styles. During my engagement in private sector I have been successfully preparing students for obtaining various internationally recognized certificates (Cambridge English and IELTS, TOEFL).
I do believe that the future of education lies in our ability to grow as teachers and be ready to keep an open mind to all the positive changes happening around us (and be critical of the negative ones), simultaneously being sensitive to the needs of our students, supporting them in their attempt to master 4 language skills, and at the same time develop their interest and understanding for a variety of social and cultural patterns existing around us.” www.playschoolenglish.com, https://www.facebook.com/tijana.nesic.ristic; https://www.facebook.com/PlayschoolEnglishStudio/; playschoolenglishstudio@gmail.com
