- Inspiration from the past......

hello there, finally we meet again. few hours before the deadline..hahaha lets recall back everything we did in the past few weeks. i like to start with, the use of music in teaching.

it is an interesting way to create a relaxing environtment in classroom. some might say it is not suitable to listen to music in language classroom. but who cares..right. haha

for me, music is a great tool to attract students attention in class. furthermore, good music delivers great message and values. it is up to teachers to choose the right songs and lyrics.

for such inspirational music, without a doubt, i choose Wind of Change by Scorpion. simply because the history behind the song really captivate my mind.

The lyrics celebrate the political changes in Eastern Europe at that time – such as the Polish Round Table Agreement and fall of the Berlin Wall, the increasing freedom in the communist bloc (which soon led to the dissolution of the Soviet Union), and the clearly imminent end of the Cold War.

such a good song to inspire students on how life can change if they work hard towards their ambition.
