Another European Quality Label

I would like to thank my eTwinning partners and most of all my students for their hard work and devotion to our project that led to our winning a European Quality Label!

e-Twinning project 2013-2014 "Let's Speak Music"

Σχολικό ‘Ετος 2013 – 2014 Πρόγραμμα eTwinning

Το πρόγραμμά μας με τίτλο «Let’s speak music»

πραγματοποιήθηκε στα πλαίσια των μαθημάτων των Αγγλικών, της Γυμναστικής στις Γ’,Δ’,Ε’,ΣΤ’ τάξεις του σχολείου μας αλλά και διαθεματικά στην Β’ τάξη. Συμμετείχαν περισσότεροι από 200 μαθητές και 9 εκπαιδευτικοί από τα παρακάτω σχολεία :

Το πρόγραμμα είχε στόχο να διδάξει Γλώσσα (Ελληνική και Αγγλική) μέσα από μουσικοκινητικές δραστηριότητες. Ο συνδυασμός της μουσικής, του ρυθμού, της κίνησης με γλωσσικές δομές βοηθάει στην ενδυνάμωση της μνήμης και κάνει το περιεχόμενο της γλώσσας κατανοητό στα παιδιά. Παράλληλα, αναπτύσσεται η ενεργητική ακοή του και εξοικειώνεται με τις μουσικές έννοιες. Δίνεται η δυνατότητα στους μαθητές να αναπτύξουν ταλέντα και δεξιότητες, να συνεργαστούν με άλλα παιδιά και να αναπτύξουν αυτοπειθαρχία μέσω της καλλιέργειας του ελέγχου και του συντονισμού των κινήσεων. Και πάνω απ’ όλα στόχος μας ήταν να δημιουργηθεί ευχάριστο μαθησιακό κλίμα και να αναπτυχθούν σχέσεις συνεργασίας και φιλίας μεταξύ των μαθητών μας αλλά και με τους μαθητές των άλλων Ευρωπαϊκών σχολείων. ABSTRACT Research in the evolution of language and music has proven that they share common bases, interact and support each other. The audio capability, the perception of sounds, imitation and creation are essential skills in both language and music. The combination of the two can create powerful incentives for students to develop their skills. The aim of "Let's talk music" is to incorporate musical interactive activities in the primary education language levels and an interdisciplinary approach to education. The musical activities and games encourage young students to engage in a pleasant repetitions, which may enhance the memorization of sounds and structures of new languages​​. The learning approach through music activities can reduce language barriers and contribute effectively to the social integration of students, especially in rural areas, problematic border regions, where the possibilities for students are limited.The project aims to contribute to the development of confidence and self-expression, as well as the improvement of intercultural understanding, and will also highlight the contribution of music as a cultural phenomenon.
