Introduction
Have you ever wondered about the fascinating relationship between music and language. What exactly is meaning in sound and how does the human brain process it?
In this entertaining and provocative workshop Charles Goodger will make the case for presenting new language through language-learning action songs.
What better learning space is there than the joyful and expressive atmosphere of the action song classroom. A dynamic space in which your students learn through TPR, music, rhythm and rhyme. Come and learn about language-learning action songs and how to write your own!
Presented by Charles Goodger – Teacher Trainer @Bologna University & founder of FunSongs Education.
This Workshop is included with PRO Membership.
Preparing for the Workshop
Our Masterclass workshops are typically delivered in 90 mins.
At Gallery Teachers, we endorse the philosophy of building on your previous knowledge and experience as opposed to just imparting knowledge on you.
Therefore, in order to prepare you for the webinar and help you activate what you already know about the topic, we will suggest two to four reflective questions for you to consider before you join the event.
You will also be given the opportunity to post your reflections, along with any questions you may already have at the pre-watching stage, to the discussion forum.
The reflective questions, as well as ideas and shared experiences posted to the forum by attendees, will be used in the real-time Q&A session in order to generate an engaging and meaningful discussion, involving the presenter and teachers from around the world.
After the event, the forum discussion will take on a life of its own and teachers will be encouraged to continue posting their experiences, reflections and questions related to the topic of the webinar. So, if you feel strongly about the topic, we will make it possible for you to take the discussion beyond the scheduled workshop and continue sharing your ideas with like-minded teachers and teacher trainers from other countries

Using Action Songs to Present New Language
Almost interesting and engaging workshop. Plenty to discuss regarding the use of music and songs with the very young. I felt it was too short as I wanted more about the theme. Charles is brilliant at what he is doing with music and his enthusiasm is really contagious.
Thank you very much. It was great!
It gave me a lot of ideas to work on
Charles gave me a lot of ideas to explore, for example, I never considered writing songs for my students, and I am thrilled about it. This is something I would like to do with my students, I think it would be a very nice experience for all of us. I also liked Milika as the presenter of the masterclass! Thank you, everyone, this has been one of the best workshops so far!
