Abstract
This proposal deals with some aspects towards the inclusion of Roma-Gypsy students in the current Educative System through the use of Music in the EFL Classroom at Secondary School level. Therefore, the aim is to explore how the implementation of our proposal connects the English language learning with music as well as the history and culture of the Roma-Gypsy people. The theoretical framework has been based on the Textual Transpodidactics Model for teaching and learning languages and as it can be seen in the discussion, the results demonstrate that this action taken can positively contribute to the achievement of the educative and inclusive objectives established by the European Parliament on the National Roma Integration Strategies and the strategies established by the Spanish Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality. And hence the achievement of real inclusion and the obliteration of racial prejudice against gypsies.
