Abstract

This article aims to understand how musical lyrics can be presented as a didactic resource for learning English. The research results from the eminent concern that permeates the classes in relation to the low reading ability of the students, having as specific objectives to demonstrate how the musical lyrics can promote new discussions and construction of new knowledge; address how the textual music genre can be an important tool for teaching the English language; and, reflect on the use of some music in the school context. The research was developed from a bibliographic review and the line of study involved the textual genres and the reading of the musical lyrics in the classroom. It became evident that the musical lyric constitutes an important resource for the learning of the English language, as it contributes to a greater interaction between students and teachers, greater encouragement to participate in classes, in addition to providing, in an interdisciplinary way, the analysis of varied themes, combining English language content with topics covered in other disciplines.
