Okinawa JALT Monthly Meeting
June 2003

Why Carolyn Graham's Jazz Chants Work,
and How You Can Make Your Own Chants
Based on Popular Songs

Andrew Meyerhoff

Date:
Time:
Place:
Sunday, June 22, 2003
2:00 - 4:00 P.M.
Okinawa Christian Junior College (OCJC), South Building, Room 2-1

Summary:

   There are several key ingredients needed to turn a song into a good classroom chant. Mr. Meyerhoff will not only discuss these ingredients, but he will also have participants practice chanting during the session. This session should prove particularly useful for non-native speaking teachers. Using AV equipment while chanting provides a role model for such teachers who may lack confidence in speaking English naturally.

Mr. Meyerhoff's Bio:
   Samuel Andrew Meyerhoff holds a BA in cultural-historic geography from UBC (the University of British of Columbia), as well as a one year TESOL Diploma, also, from UBC. He has been teaching ESL and EFL for 15 years, both in Canada and Japan. Andrew's main love in life is songwriting and lyric writing, and he was drawn to Okinawa just over a year ago because of his love for the sound of traditional Okinawan music.
