CONTEDO ESTRUTURANTE
- Discurso como Prtica Social

CONTEDO BSICO
- Elementos composicionais do Gnero

CONTEDO ESPECFICO
- Clips Musicais

Problematizao: Estamos em pleno sculo XXI, e apesar de todo aparato tecnolgico existente nas Escolas, grande parte dos professores da Rede ainda no se sente vontade para utiliz-lo em sua prtica docente. Ser que possvel mudar esta prtica? E o uso da tecnologia poder tornar as aulas mais interessantes estimulando nos alunos o interesse aprenderem uma Lngua Estrangeira?

Descrio da Metodologia:O trabalho com Clips Musicais ser desenvolvido a partir do seguinte encaminhamento:

1 - Warm-up ( introduo temtica, considerando os conhecimentos prvios do aluno);2 - Exerccio de pr-leitura (explanao de diversos gneros musicais);3 - Apresentao do gnero (aspectos composicionais);4 - Apresentao do clip (anlise da imagem, da letra, msica e o contexto);5 - Aspectos lingusticos (a gramtica dentro do texto);6 - Produo final (realizada em grupo pelos alunos).

Why ... Music ...Clips???

A msica possui um diferencial com relao aos textos comumente presentes nos livros didticos, no um material de uso exclusivamente pedaggico, e por ter sido retirado de um contexto social especfico, facilita sua anlise intra e intertextual. Alm disso, as msicas transmitem mensagens e defendem pontos de vistas, podendo ser utilizadas em sala de aula, para promover reflexes e (re) construo de conhecimentos, em conformidade com o que est proposto pela DCE/LEM (2006, p. 34)

importante ressaltar ainda, que segundo Freire, (1974 apud MOITA LOPES, 1996, p.134) o ensino de leitura em lngua estrangeira [...] pode auxiliar no desenvolvimento da capacidade de letramento global do aluno da escola pblica, dando-lhe uma possibilidade a mais de lutar pela transformao social.

Outro aspecto a ser considerado ainda, ao trabalharmos com clips de msica, a oportunidade de explorarmos a riqueza imagtica existente nos mesmos, alm de podermos analisar a relao de tal recurso visual com a letra da msica.

THINKING ABOUT...

Toda msica um texto, e como tal no isento de sentido. As msicas transmitem mensagens e defendem pontos de vista. Elas so carregadas de ideologias, traos pessoais, culturais e sociais de quem as produziu. Por esta razo interessante conhecermos no apenas as letras das msicas, mas todo contexto de sua produo, alm claro, de compreender a mensagem que ela quer passar.
