Icelandic was taught through the Icelandic song heritage. The course instructors were \u00der\u00e1inn \u00c1rni Baldvinsson, a music and primary school teacher and founder of the T\u00f3nholt music school, and D\u00f3ra \u00c1rmannsd\u00f3ttir, an Icelandic teacher. The pilot teaching took place in the spring term of 2023. Two groups went through the course, with 5 students in each. One group was taught in-person, while the other was taught in <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SpellingErrorV2Themed SCXW129429304 BCX4\">distance learning<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW129429304 BCX4\">. Lessons were taught for two hours at a time. The teaching was set up so that first, Thr\u00e1inn \u00c1rni would come and teach the students <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SpellingErrorV2Themed SCXW129429304 BCX4\">in advance<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW129429304 BCX4\"> specific songs on the ukulele. The students, of course, had varying levels of skill on the instrument, and most had never played music before. But on this course, that doesn&#x27;t matter; all students attend on their own terms and received tuition that was tailored to each individual. For the second hour, D\u00f3ra was with the students, going over the lyrics of the songs, their meaning, and their connection to Icelandic culture. The students were loaned ukuleles for the duration of the course, so they could take them home between sessions to practise. We believe the project as a whole was a great success. We now have a 20-hour course ready, which can be taught almost anywhere, at any time.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW129429304 BCX4\" data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00der\u00e1inn \u00c1rni og sta\u00f0kennsluh\u00f3purinn Markmi\u00f0 verkefnisins var a\u00f0 bj\u00f3\u00f0a upp \u00e1 n\u00fdst\u00e1rlega kennslua\u00f0fer\u00f0 \u00ed \u00edslenskukennslu fyrir fullor\u00f0na innflytjendur, \u00fear sem stu\u00f0st var a\u00f0 hluta til vi\u00f0 t\u00f3nlist sem kennslut\u00e6ki. \u00cdslenskan var kennd \u00ed gegnum \u00edslenska s\u00f6ngvaarfinn.
