How does your home sound? A didactic proposal of Music through CLIL and PBL in Compulsory Secondary Education

Abstract

Bilingual and multilingual education is becoming increasingly widespread in Spain. The CLILbased methodology seeks to maximize its potential, projecting itself as an effective model for learning an additional language while students are learning non-linguistic contents. The Music subject is a regular part of bilingual programs in both public and private education. This is why, in the absence of extensive bibliography or basic references, a specific approach to this subject through the medium of English is necessary. This didactic proposal aims to address the learning of the content of the official curriculum of the subject of Music through English as a non-native language. In order to do so, the first part of the dissertation establishes a theoretical framework that sets the background and theories related. Also, a search on previous literature has been carried out in order to bring an updated basis to this proposal. Supported on this, a didactic proposal based on project-based learning and transdisciplinary curriculum integration is then elaborated. The nationalist music of the late 19th century will be our starting point. This curricular content from Music subject in 3rd level of Compulsory Secondary Education provides a good infrastructure for building meaningful and motivating learning, not only in the core subject (Music) but also in all the other subjects included in the project: English; History and Geography; and Spanish Language and Literature. Considering the theoretical nature of this dissertation, it is important to know in advance that the results of the implementation of the didactic proposal will not be analyzed. However, the proposal is complete and proposes everything necessary to be transferred to the reality of the classroom. Once put into practice, the dissertation also details how to proceed with the evaluation of the didactic proposal.
