FUN WITH RHYMES
Participants: J.1-J.2 students (Nominated by English Teachers)
Number of participants: 23
Objective:Using songs, rhymes and chants arouse children’s interest and attention in the process of learning English. The melody, strong rhythm and simple vocabulary in songs, rhymes and chants can help to promote an imaginative atmosphere in learning. Children naturally learn and enjoy songs, rhymes and chants in their first language. The process of learning English, as our students’ second language, is different from learning Chinese. Using meaningful songs, action rhymes and chants can help our students to becoming more aware of the difference between Chinese and English rhythms. It gives them practice in using English rhythms, which will help both their listening and their speaking skills.
