Justin Timberlake is a Language Teacher!!!

Actually he’s not, but Mike Mara, a Spanish teacher from Dublin Jerome High school is, and he’s AWESOME!

I thought I’d seen cool ways to teach a language but this guy is just way out there. If you can make your students laugh (like surely Mike’s did) when they are learning a language, well you’re doing something right.

Mike has made a couple of videos, based on Justin Timberlake pop songs, to remind his high school Spanish students how to conjugate present tense verbs. The thing is they are so funny! Every time I watch them I can’t help giggling like an idiot! My favourite one is the “Conjugation’s Back,” which you can watch below.

Thanks to Joe Dale’s Blog for putting me onto this one :-D

    I loved that teacher, dancing, singing and acting with her student , in front of the class to teach them Conjugations.
    Memorable classes make unforgetable knowledges , too.
    I guess her students must be inspired and with her sense of humour she leaves school relaxed to go home, no stressed like most of teachers !!!

    Claps for her and thanks for sharing.

    He really is great isn’t he Susana!

    It never ceases to amaze me how creative and dedicated so many teachers are. I’ve made videos with my students before, I’ve sung with my students before too, but re-writing and recording a whole song? That’s dedicated!

    Hugs back from an Italy that is slowly warming up for summer.
