Peter Grundy:Peter Grundy:Art in Language TeachingArt in Language Teaching

Why art?The most under-used resource in

language teachingArt and design are everywhere (clothes

we wear, the cars we drive, the way we decorate our homes, we arrange food on plates)

Yet there is lack of art in language class

Art in the digital revolutionArt in the digital revolution

In the digital age the distinction between art and everyday life is further diminished through sites such as You Tube and Flicker, where anyone can post his own images

Thus the Internet is helping to democratize art

Relationship -Art and LanguageRelationship -Art and LanguageArt stimulates visual meaning, which stimulates

the ability of description and provokes comment

Promotes students´imaginationProvides unforgettable experience transferred

into foreign language

Awakes emotions and feelings which consequently enthuse learners to participate in discussion
