Abstract
Nowadays, and especially with the development of the new technologies, we find more often studies realized about the importance of the collaborative learning. This type of learning is based on the joint learning of pupils with their colleagues. But, do teachers do the same thing? Does a professionals' cooperation exist to design the lessons?
The present study is focused on analyzing how the educational activity develops inside the music and English classrooms in order to find common points on the collaborative work of both professionals to offer an education of increased quality and to jointly facilitate the acquisition of knowledge and skills in both subjects.
The instrument used to collect information has centred on a questionnaire and the obtained information, after its application, it has been analyzed by the statistical software SPSS, 18.0.
Most of teachers who have taken part in the study state that studying music facilitates the learning of English, but nevertheless they do not consider as important a collaborative work between teachers. This contradiction opens new doors in our investigation.
