French Educational Songs for Kids

 

Workshop information

Title of Workshop: "Songs are probably the most effective pedagogical tool available for language acquisition."

Description of Workshop: In his workshop, Jacquot presents researches which demonstrate and affirm the above. He then gives teachers the opportunity to sing, move and participate. It is a truly hands-on, informative and entertaining workshop. For teachers who use songs extensively with their students, this workshop will affirm what they already do and know while providing new ideas. For teachers who are not avid users of songs as part of their teaching methods, this workshop will undoubtedly spark the desire to do so, while at the same time showing how. Remember, one does not have to be able to sing to use songs.

Number of participants: Jacquot prefers at least 30 people and has presented his workshop with great success to over 200.

Cost of workshop: Negotiable
