Incorporating Culture in the Language Classroom: Exploring Cultural
Identity Through Music
An Interactive Workshop for Junior High & High School Teachers of
French, German, and Spanish
Indiana University
- Bloomington
19-21 June 2009
Join us this summer for our third annual teacher workshop. Designed
for junior high and high school teachers of French, German, and Spanish, this
hands-on interactive workshop will guide you in developing lesson plans that
provide students unique insights on European cultural identity by using the
target language and exploring the music and cultures of Europe.
Teacher-scholars from the IU Ethnomusicology Institute and the Jacobs School
of Music will talk about approaches to using music to explore the cultures
of your target language. Particular emphasis will be given to youth cultures.
Special performance and presentation by Chris Smith, IU alumnus and well known
musicologist! Participants will work with fellow language teachers to develop
creative and engaging lesson plans. A non-refundable registration fee
of $25 will cover your 2-night stay at the IU-Bloomington campus. Participants
are encouraged to think about music they would like to use and to submit CDs
or web links to WEST prior to the workshop or bring them in June. Workshop
may be taken for one IU graduate credit hour (scholarships available).
