1. SONGS AND RHYMES FOR YOUNG LEARNERS AND THE
    YOUNG AT HEART
     Wednesday, 22 February, 11:00 to 14:00

We will examine a number of songs and rhymes which can be used as a resource to motivate young learners, to help them in the process of language acquisition and to assist them in the development of listening comprehension and the speaking skill. Of particular interest will be the presentation of songs which may not only teach basic structures of the English language but introduce spirituality in the classroom!!!  Participants in this workshop will be given handouts with the lyrics of all of the songs and rhymes presented.

2. CONTEMPORARY COLLOQUIAL ENGLISH AS HEARD ON TV     
    SITCOMS AND SOAP OPERAS
    Wednesday, 22 February, 15:00 to 18:00           

Can you answer these questions?

• If you were ragging on somebody what exactly would you be doing?
• If I tell somebody knock yourself out am I asking them to become unconscious?
• Is a slammer someone who slams?
• If somebody gets canned, does he necessarily go to the can?
• What is the difference between wait and wait up?
• When would you say that somebody has some junk in their trunk?

You will find the answers to these questions and dozens of others in this workshop, which is based on an analysis of well over five hundred hours of recorded language of the English in sitcoms and soap operas. This workshop highlights the substantial gap between the language the student is exposed to in most textbooks and colloquial, conversational English.
