Singer-Songwriters

“The times they are a-changing”: Who would have expected Bob Dylan to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature – as the first songwriter ever? And the “British Bob Dylan”, i.e. Donovan, stated: “Wir haben die Poesie, die Philosophie und Literatur, wir haben Mythen und Legenden in das Musikbusiness gebracht.”
These are some of the reasons why this book is dedicated to the use of songwriters in English Language Teaching. As all edited volumes in the SELT (Studies in English Language Teaching) series, it follows a triple aim:
1. Linking TEFL with related academic disciplines,
2. Balancing TEFL research and classroom practice,
3. Combining theory, methodology and exemplary lessons. This triple aim is reflected in the three-part structure of this volume: Part A (Theory), Part B (Methodology), Part C (Classroom) with six concrete lesson plans.
