Reflexões sobre a utilização da música no ensino de inglês como língua adicional

Abstract

This course conclusion work aims to analyze the use of music in teaching English as an additional language, exploring its intersection with critical literacy. We sought to present two pedagogical proposals for the use of music in the English classroom. To this end, a bibliographical review research was carried out based on the works of Cervetti, Pardales and Damico (2001) and Janks (2012), in critical literacy; Murphey (1990), Brown (2008) and Johnson (2010), in Critical Literacy with music. The results obtained indicate that music incorporated into critical literacy in the teaching of foreign languages promotes dynamic, creative and critical learning. Given this, it was concluded that music integrated with critical literacy is a very effective alternative in the integral development of students, encouraging them to become critical thinkers and active participants in contemporary society.
