    Speaker: Dr. Cheung Chi Kim
    Topic: Teaching English through Popular Culture and Media Education
       
  •  
  • With research interest in media education, Dr Cheung Chi-kim, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Education of The University of Hong Kong, demonstrated how popular culture such as songs and movies can be used to teach English. For example, he showed that the song by Neil Young, "Let's Roll", is a good match for discussion of the September 11 incident when the passengers on the plane tried to stop the terrorists and said "Let's roll". He said that teachers can ask students to write about their feelings towards the songs. Even if students may have limited vocabulary, teachers can discuss themes of the songs and movies with students.
