Learning a new language is not easy. Just striving to learn the grammar and vocabulary the traditional way can make it too boring.Chances are the students can remain passive and may not respond due to lack of confidence(a statement made by experience) Then again learning mere grammar and the words doesnot make one fluent. The accent is the main challenge!
Learning can be made fun! And what more, when music plays an important role in learning and spice up the language classroom? Music appeals to anyone. Irrespective of race, gender, nationality.
Francois , my French professor at the Alliance Francais de Singapour has exceptionally succeeded in this art of teaching through music! Music being a part of the youth culture Francois has taken it to the next level of learning. French melodies help students to pick up the language with accent naturally and therefore makes the class more memorable and inspiring.Not to mention the atmosphere it creates in the classroom!Francois has made music is fun and effective way of acquiring the language! And you dont have to be a singer to join the class! Croak all you want and dont be shy!
Today's class was quite a revelation for me. Just a song can help you learn the intonation, the slangs, the grammar at the same time.Also broadens your horizons by exporing the cultural dimensions of the song! Francois has been teaching for over 20 years now and he is legendary. I had heard of him even before I had started taking French lessons,his way of teaching being quite unique and easy to grasp.
So here I post the video of the Fun class we had today. Looking forward to enriching my knowledge of French through music and fun!
If you are a student in Alliance Francais , then you must be aware of the music classes Francois conducts every Saturday 1-2 pm( no fees charged! ) For those who aspire to learn this language or inprove their language skills, and also to know more about Francois please check Francois's blog
