The Sound of Music in Our Classrooms Music can be highly memorable and motivating and it can open pathways to the learning of a second language. As well as being an important part of students’ lives, it can improve cognition and creativity. In this hands-on workshop, we would like to share with the audience a set of music-related tasks that have proved effective in classroom practice in fostering language acquisition through the blend of challenge, fun and the resulting enjoyment. 16 | APIBA ANNUAL SEMINAR 2015: TEACHING AND BEYOND
