Rock and Roll English Teaching: Content-Based Cultural Workshops
Robinson, Tim
English Teaching Forum, v49 n4 p14-23 2011
In this article, the author shares a content-based English as a Second/Foreign Language (ESL/EFL) workshop that strengthens language acquisition, increases intrinsic motivation, and bridges cultural divides. He uses a rock and roll workshop to introduce an organizational approach with a primary emphasis on cultural awareness content and a secondary emphasis on language development. It is important to point out that even though rock and roll history is a main focus of this article, any cultural content of the teacher's choosing may be substituted. (Contains 3 figures.)
