4. When teaching English, how do you utilize the visual arts as one of the strategies to facilitate your
student in speaking English ability? Please, describe the interactive visual arts in your classroom
activities to develop students' English-speaking skills!
Answer :
 1) Role Play with Visual Context: Give students pictures or short video clips that illustrate
various scenarios, such as ordering food at a restaurant or asking for directions. Assign roles
to students and have them act out the scene, using English dialogue. This helps them practice
real-life communication skills in a simulated environment.
2) Storyboarding: Have students create storyboards or comics based on a certain theme or topic.
They can use visuals to illustrate storylines and dialogue to narrate stories. This activity
encourages creativity, vocabulary expansion, and speaking fluency as students discuss and
present their stories to the class.
3) Building Visual Vocabulary: Introducing new vocabulary through pictures or diagrams. For
example, show pictures of different types of animals and ask students to label them in
English. These visual associations help strengthen vocabulary and pronunciation retention.
By incorporating interactive visual arts into English language teaching, educators can create dynamic
and engaging learning experiences that improve speaking proficiency, creativity, and critical
thinking skills in students.
