O ensino de cultura por meio da música nas aulas de língua inglesa.

Abstract

The advent of globalization has brought considerable advances to the teaching tools, especially as far as foreign languages are concerned. Among these tools, music continues to be one of the most effective means of teaching English, because it carries strong cultural traits of the peoples and nations from which it originates, precisely because each people inserts their own characteristics into each musical expression produced, whether they are lyrics, melody or even in the instruments used in the production of their art. Thus, it is possible to present such aspects during language teaching, since, there are many nations where English is the first language, second or most spoken language, becoming part of local customs. In this sense, the main objective of this work is to observe the relevance of the use of music as a tool for teaching English language culture, focusing not only on the most known countries that have English as their first language, but also emphasizing other nations of other continents. And as specific purposes, we have: 1. Identify how this genre can be used in the classroom; 2. Reflect on the effectiveness of culture learning in using it; 3. Indicate possible differences regarding the objectives of its specific use. It is a bibliographical research, analytical-descriptive, carried out through literature review and analysis of lyrics, which results will be analyzed in a qualitative way. The research is based on authors such as Hall (2006), Mendes (2012), Shin (2017), Costa (2018), among others. It is hoped that it will contribute academically, with respect to pointing out the contributions of music in the teaching of English-language culture, as well as in the discovery and evidence of other teaching tools, emphasizing the social and cultural aspects of the use of the language, not only as a means of communication, but also as an inherent part of the culture of a civilization.
