Co-organised by the Centre for Language in Education (CLE) and the Department of Cultural and Creative Arts (CCA), the workshop ‘Learning Cantonese with Music: Innovative Music-making with Cantonese Rhymes and More’ was successfully held on 19 April 2024. The workshop was co-hosted by an EdD graduate from CCA and a student language ambassador from CLE. By combining linguistic elements of Cantonese with musical activities, the workshop endeavoured to provide an engaging and immersive experience for participants to enhance their ability to comprehend and utilise the language in a creative context. Through this workshop, non-native speakers of Cantonese could acquire the language via an innovative approach that integrated music into language learning and learn it in an enjoyable and effective manner.
