The Learning Tree

2013

The Learner Call

We have the right to learn

and most important of all:

the right to be wrong;

We are creative;

therefore, we can be innovative;

together, we are strong;

We can help each other

by respecting one another;

We can learn from many ways,

as long as

we believe that

“no fun no gain”

is the best way;

We are all the same,

so don´t be afraid;

Talk to me!

I will respect your voice,

even if you make mistakes.

And it is done

And it is done

It must be done

4- Tweet Song

Coming from the tree

I heard

A tweet about the past

(2x) Tweeting about yesterday

I listen DID DIDDID


I heard

A tweet about the present

(2x) Tweeting about everyday

I listen DO DO DOES


I heard

A tweet about the future

(2x) Tweeting about tomorrow

I listen WILL WILLWILL

5- Structuring Song

At the beginning

It is so difficult

We think of giving up

But if we think a little

I gonna speak up

I am feeling as a little bird

Which doesn’t know how to fly

Frustrated I want to be an eagle

Without training my wings to flap

If I can be just a little patient

I will learn how to structure

I just need to learn a bit

In order to talk a lot

6- The Kingdom of the Words

Enter silently

And listen

To the Kingdom of the Words

It will give you the language

You want to speak

7- Grabbing Song

Captain of my soul

I wanna be

I gonna grab the chance

I’ll make the most out of here!

8x

8- Learn About me

1ºvoice 2ºvoice

We are learning to get better


That's why we are going further










I have found a tree

Where I learn how to learn

On the tree there is a bird

And it's tweeting like this:

that learning about the tree

Is to learn about me




That's why we are going further 3x

I have found a tree





Is to learn about me 2x









I have found a tree






I have found a tree






9- Taking Risks - Carry On Song

Every time you have a blockage

Keep the calm and carry on

You are Learner

So, don't give up

(Just) keep learning

Keep studying

Keep talking

Keep improving

10- Master of my life

I’m the master of my life

I’m the captain of soul

I’m the one who only know

Who I am what I know

If I make a mistake

It’s because I still don’t know

I’m learning to recast

Let me go! let me go!

The Road not Taken Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

Robert Frost

11- More I learn, Better I see

I came here to learn English

But I guess I'm learning so more

You have said that I was like a bird

That I have a language tree

More I learn, better I see

That learning is up to me

12- TWO ROADS (Greensleeves)

Two roads diverged into a yellow wood

Alone, I couldn’t travel both

Mistakes I made, I got lost many times

But I am not ashamed to have tried

Greensleeves was the choice to recast

Greensleeves was my learner´s sight

Greensleeves was the road less traveled

And I will keep follow my heart

Having two roads

In front of me

I knew I had to make a choice

But when you are not sure

Every road looks the same

And I felt I have been here before





So, I made up my mind

Took the one with no sigh

There is no better road

Then follow your heart

I know that I will be in doubt again

But now I have my green leaves





13- Recasting song

( The Song of Ice and Fire – Game of Thrones)

We have come here to overcome

We have come here to better learn

The road we have taken is not the last

Recasting is the main quest

I have to take control

I can't wait no more

Cause I'm the Captain of my soul!

The Most Beautiful Words

14- It is Up to You ( Medieval Song)

Oh, I wish I could you teach you a magic trick

A trick that could make you speak like me

(but I can’t) So, you have to find your own way to speak

I can only show how you can learn by yourself

Like any other thing you have done in your life

When you learn with love and passion

You will never forget

Up to you

Up to you

It is up to you

There are no magic beans

There are no magic pills

Learning by your heart

Is to learn by yourself

If I could, you can learn

This language too

I was a learner like you someday

And I had no idea where to go

How to get it

Then, one day, the wind

Took me to a yellow wood

I wanted to give up my journey too

Then I had to remember this melody

I sing to you

Up to you

Up to you

It is up to you

There are no magic beans

There are no magic pills

Learning by your heart

Is to learn by yourself

15- Self-Study Song

I used to think

The teacher had all the answers

I used to study

Only in the class

Like every one

Now, I know I wasted my time

It is not easy no

I am getting used to self-study

Learning on my own

I used to be without a voice

Like a newborn bird

I couldn't fly, I couldn't be

Like an eagle

Now, I know I had no patience

With my language tree

I am getting used to take control

To learn about me

16- Discipline/ Procrastination Song

I will do, I will do

My home work

I will do

I won’t postpone

I gonna do it now

I will do! I will do !

The Gambits

17- The Seven Treasures

The treasure that you wish for

Is not as far as you may think

You just have to study more

To learn the lesson of you Language Tree

Structuring your notes and recast your speech

Savoring all that you have learned

Take the risks and you will see

The worth things in life are not for free

It is not outside that you will find

The strength you need to carry on

Spread your wings and learn to fly

But don't forget where you are from

Being abroad is necessary

Books and schools can help you too

But the GRIT to recast

Is the key to go further

Self-study is knowing yourself

The greatest lesson you can have

Your Language Tree is here and there

Tune you dreams, so you can share

18- YO-HO (Pirate´s song)

You say we don’t speak well

Why don’t you listen to us?

We have learned your language

To get our ideas across

(Everybody)

Yo-Ho all together

We shall never give up

Yo-ho all together

We are not ashamed to talk

You say our accent is bad

Why don’t you tune with us

With a little of effort

We can exchange our thoughts

(Everybody)

Yo-Ho all together


Yo-ho all together


I am the captain of my soul

I am the master of my life

Why should I stop talking

(just) because you hate my voice

(Everybody)

Yo-Ho all together


Yo-ho all together


Yo-ho, we are the pirates

Sailing our ship full of learners

Yo-ho, we are the pirates

Laughing cause we have our treasure

19- The Pirates of The Laughter

We are the Pirates of the Laughter




20- The Journey

My journey started with my Language Tree

I was a bird learning how to fly

Tweeting here, tweeting there

Little by little, like a Master of My Life

Then, the kingdom of the Words appeared

Captain of My Soul

I could learn much more

By breathe in, by breathe out

Little by little, like a Master of My Life

I have been having fun and savoring my trip

Pirate of the Laughter, now I can smile

Now, I can sing. Now, I can speak

Little by little, like a Master of my Life

21-Ode to Joy (Beethoven’s Symphony Nº9)

We are over here not just to learn another language

We are over here not just to prove that we are learners

We are here for having some fun

And sing along with our friends

We are over here not just to study another language

We are here for having some fun

And sing along with our friends

We are over here not just to prove that we are learners

22- Go Further Song

We go further

We go further

Never give up

Never give up

Cause I am a learner

From my heart

23- MY VOICE

I found my voice

And now I understand what they say

I found my voice

And now I understand what they say

Now, I finally have my own voice

to speak What I think and want

And what I think and want

It is to keep learning and go further even more

24- Summary

We have sung our learning tree

Now we know we all learn

We started singing as a bird

Now, we all are captains

Being the master of our lives

It is a journey we must take

We have the right to be all wrong

But learning from our mistakes

Being a Pirate is really fun

But we need to understand

Laughing giver the confidence

But the study is what it takes

If we really want to speak

We have to accept our voice

Listen the other speech

Tune all that it is not noise

And the teacher will always be

A reminder to guide us all

But it is up to you and me

To go further and speak up

25- End Song

If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands

If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands

If you’re happy and you know it


If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands!

If you’re happy and you know it, step your feet





If you’re happy and you know it, gimme a hug





26- The Bird Has Flown

The bird has flown

Yes,

Yes, the bird has flown

The bird has flown

Yes,


From the tree to the sky

Yes,


From the tree to the sky

Yes,
