The use of hip hop music for english learning in secondary education: an interdisciplinary project

Abstract

The present project is a methodological approach based on the use of hip hop music in secondary education as a way of learning a first foreign language (English) and also expressing emotions or solving personal conflicts. The proposal is to encourage students to develop their identity according to Erikson’s theory. The current regulation (LOMCE) has been taken into account in order to provide a methodological approach based on learning through projects (PBL). Students will elaborate their own material following a rhythmic pattern and they will construct their own personality while they are learning English. In other words, this is a teaching project in which students use a foreign language to express their ideas focusing on rap music.
