LAS CANCIONES EN L2 COMO INSTRUMENTO PARA COEDUCAR I

La música es una fuente inagotable de motivación para el alumnado, y por tanto, es conveniente aprovechar dicho potencial para el aprendizaje de segundas lenguas. Para ello es importante que las canciones sean actuales, cercanas, no importa que tengan sólo un atractivo que no trascienda de lo meramente comercial. Lo que realmente importa es que enganche a los alumnos y alumnas, y que de igual manera se puedan tratar temas transversales como la coeducación. La muestra que se ofrece es una canción de BEYONCÉ en la que la artista británica habla de lo que haría si ella fuera un chico "If I were a Boy". Servirá como recurso para tratar las condicionales en inglés, al igual que para tratar dicho tema transversal.

If I were a boy
even just for a day
I´d roll outta bed in the morning
and throw out what I wanted and then go
drink beer with the guys
and chase after girls
I´d kick it with who I wanted
and I´d never get confronted for it
cause they´d stick up for me.

If I were a boy
I think I would understand
how it feels to love a girl
I wear I´d be a better man.
I´d listen to her
cause I know how it hurts
when you lose the one you wanted
cause he´s taken you for granted
and everything you got destroyed.

If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
tell everyone It´s broken
so they´d think I was sleeping alone
I´d put myself first
and make the rules as I go
cause I know she´d be faithful
waiting for me to come home.

It´s a little too late for you to come back
say It´s just a mistake
think I´d forgive you like that
If you thought I´d wait for you
you thought wrong
But you are just a boy
you don´t understand
yeah, you don´t understand
how it feels to love a girl someday
you wish you were a better man
you don´t listen to her
you don´t care how it hurts
until you lose the one you wanted
cause you´ve taken her for granted
and everything you had was destroyed
but you are just a boy.
