Atividades com músicas nas aulas de língua inglesa da escola pública: uma proposta para o 2º ano do Ensino Médio

Abstract

The present study aims to check the music’s role in student’s learning process related to English Language Classes, manly how this tool can help in the learning process according to Currículo do Estado de São Paulo Linguagens, Códigos e suas Tecnologias Ensino Fundamental – Ciclo II e Ensino Médio (2011), Orientações Curriculares para o Ensino Médio – Linguagem, Códigos e suas Tecnologias (2006) and especially the learners' needs. We observed that in our educational context, teachers have difficult to work with music due to many factors, but among them we point: the teachers and students’ musical preference, whether it is a social and/or pedagogical activity and the purpose to use music in classes. After analyzing Currículo, Orientações Curriculares and Needs Analysis Questionnaire, the music was chosen and used to elaborate three activities for this research as: reading and comprehension, oral practice and themes for campaigns. The activities were done with the students from the second year of High School, at night, in a Public School called Oswaldo de Oliveira Lima, located in Suzano. Among participating students, only one takes an English Course in a Language School, which allowed us to observe how music can impact in students’ lives who say do not know anything about English because they never or do not take an English course outside of school and who has more contact. The study is a critical investigation, of deductive reasoning, whose qualitative method aims to present a research, based on a case study. In this way, the present research not only observed the positive results of the music’s uses in English Classes, but how teacher can explore this resource during classes by combining his work plan, curriculum, guidelines and student needs and language’s rejection
