In this webinar you will look at how to harness rhythm, rhyme, and repetition to turbocharge recall and pronunciation for your language learners of all abilities. The focus will be on activities which foster engagement and are rooted in a clear pedagogic rationale.

You will discover classroom-ready chants, call-and-response, and mini-performances that make vocabulary stick, structures sing and lessons motivating.

You will learn how to mine poems for patterns, chunk language for memory, and bridge KS2–KS3 with joyful routines that meet curriculum goals.

You will leave this course with song and text ideas that make progress visible, along with insights for further lesson creation.

This course runs from 4.30pm to 6.00pm, plus extra time at the end for anyone who wishes to stay on and ask further questions.
