CONTENT AND LANGUAGE INTEGRATED LEARNING THROUGH MUSIC AND ICT: SAVING THE GAP

This paper is based on the research carried out with students behind their expected curricular level when acquiring contents through English. The method used in this study consists of two interventions developed during one academic year in a primary school: the first one with music and the second one with ICT, including the development and integration of a WIKI. The results show that students behind their expected curricular level can succeed, no matter how lost they could be. Teaching in a different way is useful and essential, implementing new strategies adapted to our 21st century students. New technologies and music are powerful tools: Teachers’ helpers when used, which promote learners' motivation and awareness of their own possibilities, encouraging them to construct knowledge and to develop their autonomy.
