The Impact of Music Therapy on Children in a Multicultural Elementary School

The OECD stated in 2018 that language barriers are among the greatest obstacles to the successful inclusion of students with an immigrant background. Providing adequate instruction in the language of instruction at school, and offering learning experiences independent of the level of language skills is, therefore, an essential task of the 21st-century school systems. This book explores how music therapy can contribute to solving this challenge. It investigates the multicultural learning environment of an Italian elementary school that is characterised by students with multiple native languages and different levels of proficiency in the language of instruction. In some cases, students have difficulty following lessons and participating in social life. The children (5-8 years) receive music therapy in the experimental condition and regular school activity in the control condition according to a within-subject control group design, meaning that half the children started in the control condition and the other started in the experimental condition; they switched at the half-time point. Data on the children’s language skills and general behaviour are collected and analysed.

Cani, camosci, cuculi (e un corvo)

Al centro di questo libro c'è il rapporto tra l'uomo e gli animali: una relazione aspra, scontrosa, fatta di incomprensioni, quando non di vere e proprie crudeltà. Ma anche di amicizie che resistono senza bisogno di parole, di intimi legami che raggiungono un'intensità sublime.
