EWA (ENGLISH WITH ART AND ACTIVITY): A NOVEL INNOVATIVE METHOD DEVELOPED BY THE AUTHOR FOR ENHANCING ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING THROUGH ART AND ACTIVITY

Abstract

The continuous evolution of English language teaching (ELT) has highlighted the need for innovative methodologies that move beyond traditional, teacher-centered instruction. In response to this need, the author of this study has developed EWA (English with Art and Activity), a novel and innovative English language teaching method that integrates art-based learning and activity-oriented instruction into a unified pedagogical framework. The EWA method was created by the author to address limitations observed in conventional English teaching practices, particularly learners’ low motivation, limited creativity, and passive classroom engagement. This conceptual article presents the EWA method as an original pedagogical model designed by the author, grounded in contemporary educational theories such as communicative language teaching, experiential learning, multiple intelligences theory, and art-based education. The paper outlines the conceptual foundation, structural components, instructional stages, and anticipated educational outcomes of the EWA method. It is argued that EWA offers a flexible, inclusive, and learner-centered approach with strong prospects to enhance linguistic competence, creativity, and active participation in English language learning contexts.
