A Meeting of Cultures—and Sounds—in the Heart of France
Within France’s enduring traditions of art, poetry, and intellectual exchange, language learning thrives on creativity as much as on grammar charts. Collège Jean-Jacques Rousseau in Oise embodies that spirit: corridors alive with student curiosity, classrooms echoing with new accents, and a shared belief that English unlocks global opportunity.
Enter Fluency MC: Teaching English Through Rhythm
Jason R. Levine—better known worldwide as Fluency MC—has spent two decades proving that music, repetition, and authentic communication accelerate language acquisition. His signature “Rhyme, Rhythm, and Reason” method turns target vocabulary and grammar into lyrical hooks, empowering learners to internalize English naturally and confidently.
On 15 April at 10:00 AM CET, Fluency MC will transform Collège Jean-Jacques Rousseau into a live studio. Students will rap high-frequency expressions, improvise dialogue, and discover how cadence drives comprehension. The accompanying video captures these moments in real time, offering educators a model lesson they can adapt to any proficiency level.
Why This Session Matters for TESOL Professionals

- Affective engagement – Collaborative performance lowers the affective filter, fostering a safe environment where mistakes become milestones.
- Cultural integration – By blending French musical sensibilities with English lyrics, learners practice intercultural competence alongside linguistic accuracy.
- Immediate take-aways – Viewers can download Fluency MC’s lyric handouts and backing tracks to replicate activities in their own classrooms.
