Jazz Chants - Stimulating Musical Intelligence

         Jazz Chants, invented by Carolyn Graham, is a pedagogical method using rhythms and beats to effectively teach English. For example, you can put the line "Have a good weekend. Thanks, you too" in four beats (find the moment of 3:12 at the Youtube video linked below). According to Patricia et al. (2010), Jazz Chants expose students to natural intonation patterns, idiomatic expression, and common rituals of everyday life. Also, it can make students engaged in sound of the target language in fun, authentic, and effective ways because it stimulates not only verbal-lingual intelligence but also musical one as well.
