| Kurzinhalt: | Brain research in recent years has confirmed a deep and profound relationship between music and language learning. Also, research indicates that small children are already capable of learning foreign languages. Moreover, listening, perceiving, imitating, and creating are basic skills in both language and music. The goal of the Comenius Project is to integrate musical activities in primary foreign language education. This learning approach can reduce language barriers and help social integration and intercultural understanding.
