Main Article Content
Abstract:
Art-based approaches that combine creativity and language growth have emerged as a major methodological trend in modern foreign language teaching. This paper examines two studies — “English Activation through Art: Tensions and Reward” by Tat Heung Choi (2016) and “Visual Thinking Strategies for English Learners: Learning Language through the Power of Art” by Beth Clark-Gareca and Tom Meyer (2022) [1] - that explore the incorporation of art into English language teaching. To reveal how the integration of art in language teaching can promote communication, creativity, and motivation among learners and teachers, this paper discusses and compares the goals, methodology, and results of these studies.
