**

*University** of **Illinois** Urbana-Champaign*

*2009 International Summer Institute (ISI)*

*Music in Many Languages
with special guest **Mary Goetze*

*June 14-19, 2009*

*
Need some good resources to help your students learn about different
cultures?*

*Want to teach songs in some uncommon languages, but lack the confidence to
do so? Want to learn from master teachers and musicians?*

*Then the 2009 International Summer Institute: Music in Many Languages at
the **University** of **Illinois Urbana-Champaign** is for you!*
This intensive institute will address ways of incorporating less-commonly
taught languages (languages other than Spanish, French and German) and
cultures into the classroom through music. Languages will include *Chinese,
Arabic, Bulgarian, Zulu, and Portuguese* (tentative). For each language,
institute participants will participate in sessions covering basic language
pronunciation, culture, and songs that can be used in a variety of
instructional settings. Sessions on implementation and lesson plan
development will provide participants with concrete plans to use their
newly-acquired skills.

We are very happy to announce that Mary Goetze, Indiana University,
nationally and internationally known clinician, conductor and composer, will
present a session on her work teaching songs in less commonly taught
languages.

While all K-14 teachers are welcome, the curriculum materials are geared
mainly towards elementary general music teachers. Social studies/social
science teachers, particularly those teaching history, geography, sociology,
and world cultures, will appreciate the connections that they will be able
to make with much of the material.

*Teachers will receive a CD with the pronunciation of song lyrics as well as
other pedagogical materials.*

*Credit:*

Participating teachers will receive CPDUs (for Illinois teachers) or
University of Illinois CEUs for non-Illinois teachers.

*Cost:*

The registration fee is $100. This covers all course and housing costs and
some of the meals. This fee is non-refundable.


*Housing: *

Housing (single rooms, shared baths) will be provided at the Illinois Street
Residence Halls June 14-18. Housing is available for Friday night, June 19
at an additional charge.
