The Power of Musicals in Language Learning: A Hands-On Workshop Music is a powerful and engaging tool for teaching foreign languages. When thoughtfully selected, musical works can enhance language acquisition by fostering deeper emotional connections and increasing learner motivation — ultimately leading to improved outcomes at the end of the day. Musicals, in particular, are a unique genre beloved by people from all walks of life, including language learners and educators. If you count yourself among them, this practical, hands-on workshop may offer valuable insights and inspiration for your teaching practice. An emotional connection to a musical often sparks a strong desire to understand every word, every nuance. As educators, this gives us a significant advantage: much of the motivational groundwork is already in place. We invite you to take a break from teaching and step into the learner’s shoes. Experience firsthand how musicals can be used as a dynamic and effective teaching tool. Let yourself be immersed in the music and leave the session with fresh ideas to implement or adapt in your own classroom. Who knows — you might even feel inspired to head to the theatre, or at the very least, press play on your favourite cast recording.
