About the Class

In this presentation, participants will discover how songs based on the repetitive input of collocations can promote accurate and fluent use of language and foster critical thinking skills in English language learners. Following a brief presentation of the ColloLearn approach, we will view and discuss segments of music videos and other materials created by the presenter.
