Languages and Integration through singing

03/01/2011

The aim of this site, produced by a team of teachers from several countries within two projects of European partnership, is to spread a method for teaching/learning a foreign language based on the use of videos, karaoke and songs. The teaching materials inserted in this site can be used by teachers of Italian, Romanian and Russian interested in using songs in their classroom, by their pupils who wish to practise at home and, finally, by autonomous learners.

To use  the materials at their best students should be at least at the A1 level of  the Common European Frame of Reference (CEFR). The linguistic levels mainly used in this site are between A2 and B2.

The materials for the learning of Italian have been tested in 12 institutions of 4 countries on 469 students of various ages.  The evaluation form filled in by the teachers at the end of the piloting phase has confirmed their quality and effectiveness.

Content

The “Karaoke & exercises” page contains, for each song, the lyrics, a video, a karaoke, a worksheet and a file with the keys to help the learners’ self-assessment.

Besides the language exercises, the worksheet contains information relating to the history, culture and traditions of the country whose language the student is learning, musical themes, glossaries, grammar contents and oral exercises with the use of karaoke.

In order to allow teachers and learners to choose the best option for their objectives, at the beginning of each worksheet we have specified.
