If you have time, I sincerelly hope that you can come to China to join our explorations.
I would love to - it's a delightful prospect :-) I wonder when, where, how long...
My regular commitments at the two universities I work for are very flexible - I decide my own schedule. I participate fairly regularly in the international conferences on whole-person education, and I've done intensive seminar tours in Russia, Argentina, the US, Eastern Europe...
One advantage you get with a visit form me is that I can do a lot of different things -
- from informal private discussions to plenary presentations
- from conferences & seminars to visits to schools/colleges
- interactive workshops, lectures, concerts, video films, multimedia computer-based presentations
- working with teachers, working with learners, working with researchers
- topics include
- thinking about the whole-person - a general introduction; a global view of different approaches & specific methods (TPR, Suggestopedia, learning styles, psychosynthesis, guided imagery in music, NLP, Krashen, Dorrity etc.)
- how music can enhance learning (of any subject)
- 'lingua affetuosa' - how 'feeling good' enhances language acquisition
- using songs in language teaching - repertoire and methodology
- Musica Humana - finding the music inside yourself (for those who don't usually sing)
- Musica Poetica - how musicians in renaissance times moved the emotions by their playing, singing, improvising; and how we can do it today (for those who make music - amateur or professional)
I normally travel with my harp, which brings a magic of its own to any gathering...
