TRANSDISCIPLINARITY IN LINGUISTIC EDUCATION WITH CHILDREN: ENHANCING TEXTUAL ENGAGEMENT

Abstract

In view of the new challenges facing teachers and students in a context already affected by the lack of national guidelines, which is the teaching of additional languages to children, we understand that transdisciplinary activities can enhance the linguistic development of students. In this work we present analyzes of excerpts from interactions during the application of 3 activities of a didactic sequence of the contemporary pop song genre (CPS) with a focus on textual engagement for critical language education in childhood. Elements of the English language and the musical language were used to carry out transdisciplinary activities with the students of a 4th grade class, with the objective of producing a CPS with a motivational function in English. We observed that solving a problem through transdisciplinarity contributed to the textual engagement and linguistic development of the students participating in the research.
