You want to sing in class,it’s not that you’re afraid to, you just: • can’t be bothered• don’t have time• aren’t sure what songs to sing• aren’t sure how to sing the songs• aren’t sure how to teach the songs• don’t like the songs in the course book• would rather teach grammar and other important thing• lied on the first slide and are actually a T-rex and

therefore can’t sing. Or clap.

YL learn through direct experiences via the five

senses.

Combining singing and TPR encourages

cognitive development via concentration and
