This Monday we made a brief presentation of our group project. The website is as follows: https://eportal.cityu.edu.hk/webapps/portal/frameset.jsp?tab=community&url=/bin/common/course.pl?course_id=_176795_1.
Our web is based on music, which is based on previous literature review concerning using music to assist language learning and teaching. Students will not get bored with music. We've chosen some pop music for listening and writing practice.
As we know students in mainland china are weaker in listening, speaking and writing. Since listening and writing are both tested in real exams on all occasions, our web mainly focus on these two aspects.
If you are interested in our project, you may log on the site.
Here, I want to mention some possible problems of our project.
First, since there are some linking or sound elimination in the music, if students are not familiar with phonology, they may not get aware of these.
Second, students may not really listen to the songs, rather they would find the lyrics on the net. There is not an effective method to prevent this or even check it.
Third, students may get involved in appreciating the music, not take it as a testing tool.
Anyway, if you have some good suggestions, please not hesitate to inform us. Merci beaucoup!
