語言課配合藝術

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 andContinue reading “語言課配合藝術”
