Much research supports the everyday therapeutic and deeper socialneurophysiological influence of singing songs alone and in groups (Austin, 2008; Cozolino, 2013; Sacks, 2007). This study looks at what happens when Japanese students teach short English affirmation songlet-routines to others out of the classroom (clandestine folk music therapy). I investigate 155 student-conducted musical case studies from 7 semester-long classes (18 to 29 students per class) over a 4-year period. The assignments, their in-class training, and their results are introduced, with examples directly from their case studies. Each class published their own booklet of case studies (a class publication, available to readers online for research replication and modeling). Results show that most primary participants enjoyed spreading these positive songlets as they became “well-becoming agents of change” in their own social networks. “Well-becoming” emphasizes an agentive action or activity that creates better well-being in others, an action such as the sharing or teaching of a songlet. The qualitative data reveals a number of types of well-becoming such as social and familial bonding, meaning-making, teaching-rushes, and experiencing embodied cognition. The project also stimulated wider network dissemination of these well-becoming possibilities and pedagogical insights.

Celem artykułu jest prezentacja programu równowaga praca-życie zaprojektowanego na potrzeby międzynarodowego projektu budowlanego, realizowanego w ciągu 35 miesięcy. Program został opracowany na podstawie wyników badań przeprowadzonych na grupie 59 osób (Polaków, Włochów, Hindusów). Praca w zespole projektowym, w swej istocie, zakłada konieczność zakończenia realizowanych zadań w określonym wcześniej terminie. Osoby podejmujące działania w takim zespole w sposób domniemany godzą się z pewnymi niedogodnościami, np. z koniecznością poświęcenia pracy niezaplanowanego wcześniej czasu w razie wystąpienia zdarzeń nieprzewidzianych. Rodzi się pytanie, czy osoby zaangażowane w pracę projektową są tego świadome oraz czy godząc się na potencjalne nadgodziny, zdają sobie sprawę, jakie to niesie konsekwencje dla ich życia prywatnego.

The objective of this article is the presentation of a work–life balance program designed to meet the needs of an international construction project implemented over a thirty–five month period. The program was developed on the basis of the results of a study conducted on a group of fifty–nine people (Poles, Italians, and Hindus). In essence, the work of the project team assumes the need to finish tasks by a pre–defined deadline. Persons undertaking activity in such a team are assumed to agree to endure certain inconveniences, such as the need to devote time for work that had not been so planned should any unforeseen events occur. This ushers in a question: Are the people involved in project work aware of this and, in agreeing to potential overtime, are they aware of the consequences this has on their private life?

The aim of the article is to discuss the role of project work in teaching foreign languages in Polish junior secondary schools. Project work is presented as a technique successfully activating and motivating learners, allowing educators to implement the principles of the constructivist approach. The author presents reports on two studies that explored how this way of teaching is applied in Polish junior secondary education. The results of the studies confirm the effectiveness of project work in teaching English as a foreign language and underline the need for creating better school conditions to use this valuable technique. The author of the paper hopes that the text will encourage teachers to treat this technique as a regular class activity, not only as an interesting didactic experiment
