Speaker: Paul Hullah
Date: Sunday, May 23rd, 2004
Time: 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Location: Okayama
Venue: Okayama Sankaku building near Omotecho in Okayama city
Description:
It has been claimed that, for many L2 students, pop music is their most frequent and meaningful exposure to English outside the EFL classroom (Domoney and Harris, 1993). However, feedback from student surveys suggests that this potentially rich resource material has long been underused or inappropriately presented at the tertiary level in Japan. Suggestions as to how pop lyrics might more effectively be utilized as catalysts to original communicative expression will be made, and the presenter will describe and discuss a pop-lyric textbook he has been working on for some time, already piloted in Japan and currently being considered for publication by several international EFL publishers.
