A música e a motivação no ensino de inglês - língua estrangeira.

Abstract

Motivated students tend to perform better in learning, developing more attention and participation to absorb content. Thus, we decided to observe whether music can be a teaching tool capable of motivating EFL students. For this, we applied a questionnaire with 14 students, and from this questionnaire, we raised discussions through the collected data, and we observed some factors, trying to clarify if the music would have the capacity to motivate the students to learn English. The results showed that music can in fact influence the motivation of learners of the new language, though there may be cases where the tool will not have the expected return.
