  A practical approach to language acquisition: Goal: Students will move beyond the theory of language and put it onto use through the visual arts, music and movement. Evidence: An art journal that contains drawings, notes about music, poems, and reflections on activities. Learning experience: Discussion of art and / or musicDiscussion of materials and processArt / writing / music creationReflection on creation including one main takeaway thought (title). Breaks for movement and games as necessary to maintain attention and focusBenefits: Focusing on the arts gives students a chance to use the English language in a practical, realistic way, as opposed to just doing worksheets, drills and preparing for an exam. This will lead to lowering inhibitions about using the language in real life, and is meant to compliment any theoretical classes they are taking. Show less
