| Material has been prepared for publication by Auer Verlag as a "do it
yourself" guide for the teacher and was issued to coincide with the start of the
academic year in August 2005. The technique introduces key elements of basic
English, in song lyric form, spoken in unison to the accompaniment of a
backing-track, or beat. The work includes twenty original lyrics covering a
variety of topics, such as animals, colours or seasons, arranged into varying
levels of skill. The accompanying audio CD includes five, specially composed and
recorded tracks, each of which is presented as a backing-track (no vocals) and
as a complete recording (with vocals) using five of the lyrics as an example. In
practice, each of the twenty lyrics may be used with any of the five
backing-tracks. The music is in current Hip-Hop and R&B
style. For further information on available materials, please refer to the website: www.english-through-music.de PLEASE NOTE: If you do not wish to be included in this distribution list please click on mailto:elt.germany@britishcouncil.de and enter unsubscribe in the subject box. |
