Languages and music: a research project for language teaching and learning

Working with songs is often included in foreign language instruction at the public-school level, but music is rarely taught explicitly in such courses. The project “Languages and music: towards an interdisciplinary didactic approach at school” at the HEP Vaud shows us how music education can be an integral part of German and English lessons at school, and the ideas here are easily adaptable to other languages. To find out more, Laura Loder-Büchel (PHZH) posed a few questions to Chiara Bemporad (HEP Vaud).
