MORALES NEISA, Camilo. Using Rock Music as a Teaching-Learning Tool*. profile [online]. 2008, n.9, pp.163-180. ISSN 1657-0790.

The use of rock music in English teaching-learning contexts gains relevance as many of the people involved in them listen to this kind of music. The integration of rock music into language learning can be done if the music is treated as class material, taking into account that it requires previous and careful preparation. In this article I will show my experience working with two students in classes in which the materials were based on the lyrics of rock songs. The motivations, reflections, information collected and findings made during the process compose the following article in which rock music and learning are the central characters of a research study carried out with two adult students.

Keywords : Rock music in ELT; music as authentic material; teaching-learning tools.
