Art and Music in the English Classroom (TESMA, Vol. 1)

Beschreibung

Intended for use in MA/MEd courses, this coursebook provides an introduction to teaching English (lexis, pronunciation, and grammar) through art and music, i.e. by having pupils make art and compose and/or play music. Using authentic texts as the basis for projects, courses and lessons, students will learn how to • conduct lexical/collocational, grammatical/syntactic and phonetic/phonological analyses of texts (in the broadest sense of the word); • identify and formulate goals and objectives (language related, artistic, general); • develop art and music based lesson plans; • develop art and music based project/course outlines; • actively reflect on course “delivery”. The fourteen sessions of the seminar cover • cartoons; • contemporary dance; • land art; • photography; • film and video art; • sound art; • music. Supplying introductory texts, resources and hyperlinks as well as suggesting tasks to be completed by the students, Part A comprises the key materials for the individual sessions with sample solutions, lesson plans and course/project outlines. Part B is a bibliography including online resources, ideally to be continued by students and lecturers during the course of the seminar. The texts in part C can be used for revision or in preparation for students’ own course/project outlines or lesson plans. Part D offers “hands-on” materials and practical tips for lecturers, providing worksheets, notes and suggestions for the postgraduate classroom as well as proposing particular points for discussion. Catering for the needs of in-service teachers, Part E contains synopses for those wishing to undertake projects or teach lessons based on art and music in their own English classroom.
