IV. BENEFITS GETTING FROM TEACHING AND LEARNING THE LESSON:
After the lesson, the teacher knows that teaching English is not simply teaching Ss
vocabulary and structures, he/she has to know how to combine teaching the language
with knowledge about other subjects. This makes the lesson practical, more interesting,
more attractive to the Ss and more educational. To do this, teacher needs to enrich
him/herself with the knowledge of other subjects to serve the aims of teaching English
to Ss. And above all, teaching English in combination with other subjects helps Ss apply
languistic knowledge in reading, listening, speaking and writing about things which are
real to their life.
To the leaners, learning English in combination with other subjects makes them
feel that they are using English in the most natural ways. After learning English lessons,
they will not only be able to improve their language ability and skills but also be able to
show their own knowledge and enrich their knowledge about other subjects (in this
lesson: music and arts). Therefore, they will love learning English more and also their
love for music and art is also strengthened after the lesson.
