(New from NCLE) X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Type: text/plain; Status: O Content-Length: 1213 Lines: 31 You know that instrumental music can charm snakes and that the music of a harp put Jack's giant to sleep. You have probably also heard that college students in a research study exhibited enhanced spatial reasoning ability after listening to Mozart. But what does this have to do with learning English? NCLE's latest digest, "Using Music in the Adult ESL Classroom," by Kristin Lems, offers suggestions for using music and music-based activities to develop and practice reading and writing, listening comprehension, vocabulary, and speaking, and to expand cultural knowledge. It is available on line at http://www.cal.org/ncle/digests/music.htm or from NCLE at the address below. Happy reading (and listening)!
