Prof. Paolo Balboni
The ANILS (Associazione Italiana di Insegnanti di Lingue Straniere) Conference at Cento suffered because of very bad weather. More people would have come if it hadn't rained. However the FunSongs Workshop which included a lively and highly responsive class of 22 primary school children was appreciated. I taught "On Halloween" and hosted a session "Songs in Action" later in the day.
There were many interesing people at the event including Paolo Balboni from Cà Foscari University in Venice. He gave a provocative talk on the close connection between language and culture. I also made several new contacts including Dott.ssa Lucia Cucciarelli. She runs a project called "Studi Sociale e cooperazione europea." Marika Triola was also there to present her "Baby CLIL" which includes several references to the FunSongs Approach.
FunSongs Summer Camp
I'm now waiting for confirmation from Zola Predosa Council for a meeting on Saturday 15th October which I hope to attend with Antonella Gasparini. That same morning I have another meeting with Casalecchio Council and Teacher Gloria Vannucchi. I'm still waiting to hear from Monte San Pietro.
FunSongs shows
Every day last week there were inquiries and bookings for FunSongs Shows. We're all looking forward to welcoming the new actress Amy Hough who should be arriving in time for the Fetrinelli Bookshop presentation in Florence next Sunday.
