A música como ferramenta de aprendizagem na língua inglesa

Abstract

Music, beyond its artistic relevance, stands out as an excellent medium for social interaction and knowledge transmission. This study aims to analyze the pedagogical practices described in six research studies published between 2013 and 2018, which utilize music as a didactic tool in English language teaching. It seeks to identify the advantages and disadvantages of this approach to propose a model that fosters more effective learning and the development of linguistic skills such as listening (auditory comprehension) and speaking (oral production). The results indicate that the use of music enhances students' motivation, expands vocabulary, and facilitates the understanding of grammatical structures. However, the studies also highlight challenges, such as the proper selection of musical materials and the difficulty in consistently aligning music with pedagogical objectives. The research is grounded in authors such as Félix Filho and Bezerra (2012) and Silva (2011), who emphasize the relevance of music in making the process of teaching and learning English more dynamic and enriching.
