This book will teach you about Ireland while you
improve your English. Through fun activities, you
will learn about the history and culture of this
unique island. The CD features 28 beautiful songs,
stories, and poems from Ireland performed by Brian
Cullen.
Land of Song and Story is suitable for the
following courses:
- Irish culture courses
- Intensive courses
- Reading classes

LSS is written specifically for Japanese students
and the activities reflect their interests. It
provides a mirror for their own culture and
students will become much more aware of cultural
issues as they compare the history and culture of
Ireland with Japan.
As well as raising cultural awareness, students
will improve their English through reading,
writing, quizzes and other activities. In
addition, the songs and the stories on the CD
provide realistic and interesting listening
practice.
The wide range of material can act as a starting
point for further student research and class
presentations and the website offers links to
sites of Irish interest all around the world. LSS
also provides a great source of background
information for understanding Irish literature.
Please get in touch if you would like the author,
Brian Cullen, to carry out a workshop at your
school.
