Perhaps one of you has experience with music CDs in your language facility. --- Excerpt: A colleague in the Department of French and Spanish has inquired about the possibility of setting up a system whereby students could listen to French music in the audio language lab (or computer centre) as an added activity when they tire of regular grammar and speaking exercises. Has anyone out there made music CDs available to students? If yes, 1. did you have students sign out the CD they wanted and return it when finished, or did you --- end of excerpt purchase a jukebox? 2. What sorts of activities did you use to maximize the listening activity (comprehension questions, grammar or dictation exercises, pastiche writing, sing along for pronunciation)? --- Excerpt: 3. How did you handle copyright issues associated with broadcasting music to multiple student stations? 4. Were you able to use materials instructors have in their private collections? --- end of excerpt Many thanks for your ideas!
