I just finished my second to last week teaching English in Thailand. Another semester is nearly in the books, and I am on my final month in this country. Rather than cram one last lesson into my classes before the final exam I decided to let my students (and myself) relax for a few days before the study sessions begin. My students and I may never meet again after this month, so good advice told me to just have fun at school. Enjoy our final days with the all time favorite Asian hobby, karaoke.
Students at my school love to sing, especially popular English songs. I hear just as many One Direction or Nicki Minaj songs at my school as I would teaching back in the US. I had assumed my classes would want to listen to a lineup of Maroon 5, Selena Gomez, and other mindless pop songs. However, the first song requested was “Zombie” by the Cranberries.
Weird.
Awesome.
There is still hope for the musical tastes of the youth.
