Material Detail

Spin the Globe

Spin the Globe

This site has an impressive collection of world music categorized by genre as well as region and country.  It has a large number of free downloads as well as featured weekly free downloads.   The African music may be helpful in French language classrooms as the combination of Western and African sounds may be more appealing to high school students than the traditional music.  This site would provide an excellent resource for a webquest.  The freedownloads are also useful in creating  training materials for foreign language teachers.

Downloading of free music samples and use them in the classroom to learn language can be very effective way to learn language. This web site is just right p;ace to find good samples of World music.
