Diana Alves on 11 Jan 11Singing Bob Marley or The Ramones... It does not matter! Karaoke can help students developing their capacities. :) This article brings up a very interesting issue: using karaoke as a learning tool for Special Education Students and English Language Learners. A short quotation to increase your curiosity about the article: "SSHH! YOU CAN'T SING IN THE LIBRARY I first had the idea of introducing karaoke into my middle school library program after going to a local club on karaoke Night. People got up and seemed to become someone else-more confident-regardless of their ability to sing. I got up my courage to try it and the same thing happened to me. I chose Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive," and not only did I survive, I felt on top of the world!" It is very interesting, however not new to us (us, the ones who couldn't participate in the symposium in Munich...) because Gudrun had a similar idea for our session... :)
