Hi Maruška,
thank you so much for your lovely comment. 😊
I do. I like this method because it seems to be good for shy or nervous children to calm down and learn without stress. But to be honest, I would like the Ss to be more active during my lessons.
Yes, I would like to use music in my classes. And not just as a background for the activities, but also as part of the activities or the activities themselves. Learning a song in the targeted language, using rhymes and poems to learn vocabulary or chunks. Personally, music is very calming and helps me focus better while I'm studying. I hope it would have the same effect on my students.
I would say that it is easier for the Ss to repeat a new-learned vocabulary or chunks from a list then must look for it in a dialogue or a long text. I think that ideal for me would be to learn in context during the lessons and have a prepared list for the Ss if they would want to repeat the learned vocabulary/chunks later at home or before another lesson.
Have an amazing rest of the week,
Verča
