"I think this photo represents our Korean Bilingual Program at Campsie Public School so well. [......] The left hand has to go up and down as you hit the drum with the stick, while the right hand goes to the sides as the stick remains on the drum in between the strokes. Can you imagine the drummers' brains? The second language is there for the bilingual brain development; Irene's brain is fully lit up for the day since we began running this drumming class at 8 in the morning. As you already know, Irene comes to the Korean class every day for an hour on top of the morning activities and the lessons are prepared in the CLIL approach. (She has been learning about 'Where does bread/rice come from?' this term.) More importantly, the students get to enjoy the music and feel that they can learn and achieve something and it is so much fun. No wonder the Korean Bilingual Class students have done so well in NAPLAN..." 3.45-4.00 [Arirang Hall]
