Rationale
As the teacher we often think we have to be
artistic to introduce or the arts to student; However, being an
artistic is not a prerequersite for
teachers who want to introduce arts to young
children.
Defining “The Arts”
It is necessary to define what is mean by “the arts” since more only often than not,
teachers only provide painting and crafts classes when trying to accomodate the arts. There is so much
more to this areas of learning. Arts Education
includes four distinct discipline areas, each with a separate body of knowledge and skill including : dance,
drama, music and visual arts (Black,2004).
Integrating “The Arts”
Methods
Modeling and demonstrating
Providing descriptive feedback
Explaining to help organize children’s
thought
Asking Question to extend children’s
ideas and understanding
When the arts are integrated in the early
childhood , childrens are given opportunites to express themselves
visually what they may not be able to say verbally.
Young Children are given develop independence,
confidence, pride and self expression through hands
on learning in an environment that
simulates creativity through the arts
Visual ArtsA teacher can integrate visual arts with language arts by giving children a
literature response activity.
As a teacher plan a theme, think of art activities related to the topic of
discussion in class. Visual arts learners will
surely show progress in language learning when
presented with artistic or practical activities to
apply langguage or knowledge
Example :“Healthy and Unhealthy
food”
Student can cut examples of these food and glue onto a plate. Making
phonics collages from magazine and newspaper
is also another great visual art activity
Music and DanceTeacher can integrate music and dance. Songs
also introduce new vocabulary or sentence
structure.
As the teacher we should consider bringing in a
third dimension to this learning environtment.
Instead of just using available musical
instrument, student could make “noise-
makers” to use.
Example :“Twinkle-twinkle little
stars”
For “noise makers”Dried beans in the bottle. Empty Big bottle aqua-can-
drums etc
DramaIt is also easy to integrate drama by
making animal mask or puppets and have
children pretend to be an animal.
Teacher could use drama to provide a beneficial supplemental approach.
Dramatic play also serves as a motivator for learning. Students’
overall understanding of a story improves once engaged in the
enactment of the story
Example :“The Ant and the
Grasshoper”
But I think it is very effective if we shown drama by pupet and using mix language.
The Advantages of using Arts in TEYL:
Providing students with the opportunity to practice the arts, have multiple benefits,
some of which are :
• Access multiple intelligences
• Develop higher thinking skills
• Enchance multicultural understandings
• Build self esteem
• Gain positive emotional responses to learning
• Engage through a variety of learning sytles
Strength
Learning English which are integrated by visual
arts, music, dance and also drama will be more fun and very effective
for beginner.
Weakness
To much spending lots of money.
Solution
We must be patient to help students
understanding well.
We need prepare a plan before .
Cause it can help us to know what is the next
step should we do together. So we can count these costs
