In 1983 Mr. Gardner presented the theory of The Multiple Intelligences. He actually says that everybody has at least nine types of intelligence.

SCHOOL

Come in. Sit down.Now you are at school.

Turn off your phone.Follow all the rules.

Listen up to the teacher.Take out your notebook.Write down the answer.

If you don't know, she'll help you out.

SIMPLE PRESENT

Daily activities.I get up at seven o’clock

Take a shower and have my breakfast…

Be creative.

MUSIC IS HIGHLY MEMORABLE, IT CREATES

A STATE OF RELAXED AND RECEPTIVITY,

BECAUSE ITS RHYTHMS CORRESPOND IN SOME WAY WITH BASIC BODY

RHYMTHMS.

IT IS HIGHLY MOTIVATING,

ESPECIALLY FOR CHILDREN, ADOLESCENT

AND YOUNG ADULT LEARNERS.

IN OUR TIME, IT IS HARD TO ESCAPE MUSIC AND SONG AS IT OCCUPIES

EVER MORE OF THE WORLD AROUND US.

“THE SONG STUCK IN MY HEAD” IT SEEMS THAT SONGS WORK ON OUR SHORT – AND – LONG

TERM MEMORY.

THE SINGING RESEMBLES WHAT PIAGET (1932)

DESCRIBE AS EGOCENTRIC LANGUAGE,

IN WHICH CHILDREN TALK, WITH LITTLE

CONCERN FOR ADDRESSEE.

This Song Is Stuck In

My Head!

•Verbal thoughts•Words used for thinking

• When children repeat words to themselves• Thinking aloud

•Rehearsing speech or song silently in your mind
