La pintura como expresión artística para fomentar la motivación de los estudiantes en el aula de EFL de primaria: Guía para el profesor

Abstract

This experimental project presents a guide designed for fourth-grade English teachers that integrates the teaching of English with painting as a form of artistic expression. The main objective is to enhance students’ motivation by incorporating art into the learning process. The guide emerges as a response to the lack of innovation in English language education, which often results in low student engagement. By using painting as a creative tool, teachers can address students' educational needs while offering them a new perspective on learning and the world around them. Throughout the implementation of the project, it was found that art not only boosts motivation but also fosters critical thinking. Moreover, it supports multidisciplinary learning, helping students improve in English and other subjects.
