Why art?

Artworks are an authentic expression of the thoughts, feelings and creativity of individual Japanese. They can provide unlimited avenues for the language student to interact with these original creative impulses leading to deeper cultural understanding.

Promotes ILTL and develops thinking skills

This resource supports individual learning by providing diverse experiences of language and culture, and by asking questions that encourage learners to seek their own answers. The tasks designed for this resource involve noticing, comparing, reflecting and interacting, which are essential processes in the ILTL approach. The tasks in this resource were designed to develop students’ thinking skills, from comprehension skills to higher order analytical and interpretive skills, and critical thinking.
