This week class classteachers, language teachers and Hurja Piruetti's dance teacher have participated in Dance language! -workshops where they got to try out how dance can be integrated into primary school language teaching.
The workshop leaders PhD student Kaisa Korpinen (Turun yliopisto) and Janna Westerlund (Hurja Piruetti) shared experiences of interdisciplinary teaching and multi-professional collaboration in the project "Dance language!" and presented video material created in the project.
The video material offers concrete tools for bodily and art-based language teaching in the lower grades of primary school and it is available on the website of the University of the Arts (https://sites.uniarts.fi/sv/web/ellaresearchproject/kieliä-tansien-) as part of the research project "Embodied Language Learning through the Arts” (ELLA).
