2009 International Summer Institute
Music in Many Languages with special guest Mary Goetze

June 14-19, 2009
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

This intensive institute will address ways of incorporating less-commonly taught languages (languages other than Spanish, French and German) and cultures into the classroom, with special emphasis on the elementary general music classroom. Languages will include Chinese, Arabic, Bulgarian, Zulu, and Portuguese (tentative). For each language, institute participants will participate in sessions covering basic language pronunciation, culture, and songs that might be used in the classroom. Sessions on implementation and lesson plan development will provide participants with concrete ways to use their newly-acquired skills.

While all K-14 teachers are welcome, the curriculum materials are geared mainly towards elementary general music teachers. Social studies/social science teachers, particularly those teaching history, geography, sociology, and world cultures, may also find it useful. Teachers will receive a CD with the pronunciation of song lyrics as well as other pedagogical materials.

Deadline for early applications is April 17, 2009.
The final deadline for applications is May 11, 2009.
