Como explorar a memória auditiva

Aprender através das letras de músicas é a estratégia preferida de alguns alunos, porque oferece uma maneira mais relaxante da apresentar uma linguagem nova, apesar da dificuldade em entender todas as palavras e do uso mais flexível da linguagem que as músicas atuais apresentam. A seguir, algumas idéias sobre como explorar esse tipo de memória auditiva estudando sózinhos

- Escute e cante músicas ou assista a videoclipes com as letras como este aí em cima que postei pra vocês, anote as palavras separando-as em categorias. Por exemplo, verbos, adjetivos ou até frases inteiras, e depois exercite-as oralmente.

- Ouça as músicas sem ler as letras, anotando passo a passo tudo que conseguir entender ou de três em três linhas.

- Crie o seu próprio exercício de completar, apagando algumas palavras das letras para depois completar as frases ao ouvir a música.

Se estas dicas forem muitos difíceis ou 'boring' just listen, listen, listen and sing, sing, sing........além de praticar o Inglês, talvez voce acaba descobrindo um novo talento.....brincadeirinhaaaaaa.....
Have a nice week. See you.

Deadlock

David Maitland's "deadlock" is this year's winner of the competition’s Behaviour: Other Animals category.

David said the photo was just a snapshot in the struggle between a tree-frog and cat-eyed tree-snake that lasted for hours through the night in the tropical forests of Belize.


Trouble-maker

Italian Stefano Unterthiner's photo of a mischievous Sulawesi black-crested macaque won the competition’s Animal Potraits category.
