記住:孩子喜歡遊戲,故事,卡通。如果我們能幫助孩子體會到學習就是最好的遊戲, 那我們已經做給他們很大的服務了。
教語言課配合藝術有很多好處: 過程中學生可以用到聽到很多語言的詞會與文法。畫畫也能讓學生安定下來專注所以對他們的學習有幫助。此外聽覺和視覺任務都容易能異口同聲得做,所以學生畫畫的時候也可以說話或聽故事和音樂。
大部分的學生很喜歡畫畫。讓學生做一些海報或圖片也可讓您達到有點平靜, 而且父母很可能會很快樂因為他們能親眼看證明他們的孩子會做一些建設性的動作。如果作品能幫助地球或人類福祉或健康那就更好了。有時候藝術品可當成廣泛的活動的一部分。例如,在美國學校參加了停車熄火環保活動: 學生展出他們畫的海報,甚至走到學校外面,提醒家長熄火。
學生做海報時我平常會大聲的念他們以前學過的故事或文章。這樣也可以當記憶力遊戲:念的時候暫停讓孩子們提供下一個次、情況、或話題。他們講對就得分了。
建議:每個學生必須先用鉛筆畫草圖包括所有的文字。老師要確定都是對的然後寫一個’OK’或’好’ 在角落或後面。紙上有老師寫的’OK’或’好’學生再可以開始用墨筆或顏色。海報與圖片最好要包括很多文字喔!
Just remember: kids like games, stories, and cartoons. If we help children to see learning as fun – as the greatest game – then we’ve already done them a great service.
The great thing about using art in language classes is that students can use and hear a variety of language in the process and it can also help them to achieve a relaxed focus beneficial to learning. Furthermore auditory and visual tasks are easily performed in unison so as students draw they can still talk or listen to stories and music. The students generally love it, it can help them to focus, you get some peace, and you’ll probably get very happy parents who have visual proof that their children are actually learning or doing something constructive. If the artwork can help the World then all the better. In some cases the artwork can be part of a wider campaign. For example, in America various schools took part in an anti-idling campaign in which students drew posters, displayed them, and then even went out to remind parents in cars to not idle their engines.
While students create posters I sometimes read aloud stories or articles they have previously learned. You can also make it a game by pausing in mid-speech. The student that can recall the next sentence, word or idea can get a point for their team.
Tip: Each student must first create a sketch including all the text in pencil. Then a teacher checks and only once the teacher says or writes that it’s OK can the student start to use pen. It’s often good to use plenty of the target language in the artwork, such as in speech bubbles and so on.
