Affective teaching is particularly important at the secondary level when the student is facing the problems of adolescence (physical change, sex, social development, identity, values, and alienation). One of the most commonly accepted strategies at the secondary level is that of improving self-concept through the study of literature. Since an important aspect of the modern youth culture is their music, another affective strategies would be the use of music in the classroom. One of the most popular uses of music in the classroom is the examination of lyrics of modern songs, many of which are intriguing enough to stimulate serious thought and discussion of what the song writer is trying to communicate. Language experience is a viable method of improving the reading skills of secondary students. Drama and skits are effective strategies for improving students' self-concept. Some teachers may want to have their students write a play, cast it, and build the sets to produce it for other classes. Several projective techniques can also be used to help students begin to examine themselves and their relationships with others. (WR)
