Progress-3

Rap songs are a powerful teaching strategy. I create rap songs by myself based on the learning objects. One of the songs that I put in the video is the Hamburger song. In most foreign language classes, you just stay in your seat and sing a song. That’s it. Not in my Chinese class. For nearly all the songs we sing in my class, students dance and move to the music. I normally use a flamenco clapper to give the beat. In the video, Queen’s famous song, “We will rock you” is the background music we rap to. I have to say every time students hear this music, they want to dance, and they start to show interest. I will put part of the students’ performance in the final video.
