Title: Golden Arabic Lyrics: Using Music in Arabic Class
Body: From http://nclrc.org/teaching_materials/links_to_fl_materials/last_finds.html The February 2008 NCLRC Newsletter includes a review of the Golden Arabic Lyrics website. Here is an excerpt: Golden Arabic Lyrics (www.arabiclyrics.net) is a tool for Arabic teachers and students alike. By providing the text, transliteration, and translation of songs, teachers can give their students a helping hand when they push “Play.” The website, begun in 2006 in the United Kingdom, is not officially a teaching resource. Rather, it is a site for aficionados of Arabic music to put up lyrics, discuss their favorite songs and artists, and browse for the words to that particular song. Read the entire review at http://nclrc.org/teaching_materials/links_to_fl_materials/last_finds.html . Golden Arabic Lyrics is available at http://www.arabiclyrics.net .
