I frequently use music as a teaching tool as evidenced by all of the kids' English music videos and phonics/alphabet songs. But I have found that I need music which very closely follows the textbook content with nearly exact vocabulary and sentence patterns. This is even more important for older grades which have students who struggle with literacy because of delays in diagnosing and treating their learning dysfunctions. Therefore, I started using AI music platforms to create songs with textbook content. This page has a google drive folder full of AI generated songs of varying styles, tempos, and quality. Feel free to peruse and use them as often as possible. In the future, I plan to make videos and listening comprehension exercises (Kahoots, Wayground, etc.) But, in the meantime download and share them wherever, whenever.
我經常使用音樂作為教學工具,這從我分享的兒童英語音樂影片和自然發音/字母歌就可以看得出來。但我發現,我需要的是能高度契合課本內容、且幾乎使用完全相同字彙與句型的音樂。對於高年級而言,這一點更為關鍵,因為部分學生因較晚發現或治療學習障礙,而面臨英語讀寫困難。
因此,我開始利用 AI 音樂平台來創作結合課本內容的歌曲。這個頁面附帶了一個 Google 雲端硬碟資料夾,裡面裝滿了各種曲風、節奏與不同品質的 AI 生成歌曲。歡迎大家隨意瀏覽並多多利用!
未來,我計畫進一步製作教學影片與聽力理解練習(如 Kahoot!、Wayground 等平台)。不過在這期間,歡迎大家隨時隨地下載並分享這些資源。
Possible uses are: broadcasting at school during the morning cleaning time, listening comprehension exercises, musical accompaniment during school events like Sports Days or Mother's Day /parents' Day, and warm-up or warm down with reading passages. Some songs in books 5 and 7 are actually just lyrical reading passages. the songs can help practice natural prosody and fluency in reading.
建議的教學與活動用途包括:
打掃時間播音:於早自習或晨間打掃時間在校園廣播播放。
聽力測驗與練習:作為課堂聽力理解的訓練素材。
校園活動配樂:於運動會、母親節或家長日等全校性活動中作為背景音樂。
課文暖身與收尾(Warm-up / Warm-down):搭配課文朗讀進行課前預熱或課後複習。
(補充說明:第 5 冊與第 7 冊的部分歌曲,實際上就是將課文加上韻律節奏。這些歌曲能有效幫助學生練習自然語調(prosody)與朗讀的流利度。)
