The use of songs in English classes is a challenge that many teachers prefer to avoid because of the diversity of preferences of students in relation to music styles. The aim of this paper is to discuss HOW the use of songs in the development of EFL lessons at a Brazilian public high school served as a context for addressing linguistic aspects and cross-cutting issues in the classroom. The proposed activities related to the songs were meant to lead the PROCESS OF LANGUAGE LEARNING beyond the routine of exposure and practice of written exercises and also TO generate moments of discussion and reflection.
