<p>As a kid i would always remember the lyrics of songs and never my academics. And as kids we always thought that if songs were what we would have to study we would ace the class. This is a dream come true. lol. To see that lyrics are actually used for learning. I am sure the kids are going to enjoy this method and this will help them remember better and learn faster.</p>

<p>Here is the blurb from the project:</p>
<p><span class="cf7 fs20 ff5">PopuLLar is a European Union,</span> <span class="fs20 cf7 ff5">funded, innovative, education project designed to harness music, the primary social interest of secondary school students, in to their language learning. There is a huge need to motivate secondary school students, in particular, to learn languages, focus digital competencies and be creative; and music is the key.<br/>The project will ask students to write their own lyrics to songs of their choice. They will then translate their songs in to the target language they are learning, The students will then record their song (audio or video) and share it with students all over Europe. <br/></span></p>
<p><span class="fs20 cf7 ff5">Students will be able to combine their love of music, with creativity, literacy, digital competencies, group collaboration and, most importantly, use LWULT languages. PopuLLar is a project that is 'Owned' by the students, they work autonomously and collaboratively, teachers are guides to the project process.</span></p>
