Deskripsi

Songs are part of the teaching-learning processes of the language. However, music can contribute much more, in line with the proposals of the European Music Portfolio project: A Creative Way into Languages (EMP-L). In this article, placing ourselves in the shared space between music and language, we present three illustrative activities of linguistic work that can be developed from music. Finally, we defend the importance of looking for teaching-learning formulas that integrate different types of languages, in a holistic, vivid, and motivating concept of the curriculum.
