When Melody Meets Mandarin

歌曲在中文教学中的应用

2:00 – 2:30 在语言教学中, 歌曲是一种有效的工具,能够从多方面提升学习的效率和体验。 例如可以用在听力训练,发音练习, 词汇扩展等方面, 也可以提升学生的愉悦感和自信心。 然而适合汉语学习的歌曲很少, 因此长期以来歌曲在教学中的利用率不高。 我们这个Workshop 将向大家介绍一系列专门为中文学习而设计的歌曲,歌词的设计参考了常用的教材如“你好” “进步” “轻松学中文”等。每一首歌都有一个主题, 例如打招呼, 数字, 家庭, 宠物, 运动, 食物等。 我们将讨论在教学的不同阶段, 怎样高效率使用这些歌曲。 最后会介绍一些配套的免费教学资料如Lyrics, worksheets, vocabulary list等。 Fiona Feng: Songwriter and founder of Melody Mandarin
