I can personally relate to the learners who was not happy about the song in a different language. It makes you feel uncomfortable when you do not know the meaning of the words of a song. I don't have a problem with songs in a different language, and I don't think the learners had a problem with that as such, but you feel placed on the spot and very self-aware if you sing to a song but you do  not know the meaning of it. Si I feel for the learners that might not no Zulu and felt left out. I also personally don't like dancing in a group or in front of people... I don't even like dancing on my own for that matter. It just does not feel right to me. And I know that many cultures doesn't like it if people from a different culture dances on their music. That can also make learners feel uncomfortable dancing to a song that does not come from their own culture. 

 

The next time I think the teacher must play short pieces out of different cultural songs to accommodate all the cultures.  In this way no one will feel left out. I also think that learners must be given the choice if they want to dance to cultural songs that is different from their own culture. If they feel uncomfortable at any given time they must not be forced to do something that they don't want to do.

 

It is very important to remember that each culture has different ways of doing stuff. We can't expect to know every thing about all the different cultures. Just always remember to respect each learners culture, because it is not nice knowing someone disrespects your culture. 

 

Till I blog again.

Strong to all the students that has so many on their plates. Just keep swimming!!!!!!!!!!!
