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.
