ESL Intermediate: English through Music *In-Person* *NEW*
Songs are a great way to learn a language and culture. This class, for intermediate students, uses well-known American songs as a way to learn vocabulary, practice listening and pronunciation, and learn about U.S. history and culture. We’ll learn traditional songs (“I’ve Been Work-ing on the Railroad”), folk songs (“This Land Is Your Land”), country songs (“You Are My Sunshine”), and more! You don’t need to sing, but you’ll have fun joining in. Instructor: John Verrilli
