Why use drawing in the classroom?

Here are 10 good reasons for both teachers and students to draw in the classroom:

1
Some things are more easily conveyed using a quick drawing on the board than a vocal explanation, especially if the teacher wants to avoid using the students'mother tongue in class. Drawing makes a very good elicitation technique, especially if the teacher draws the object bit by bit encouraging the students to 'guess what it is'.

2
Teacher drawings can be used to express not only concrete items, but also abstract ideas such as tenses.

3
A student drawing activity can be used as a way of reinforcing language work carried out in class.

4
The slower pace of a drawing activity allows learners more time to take in and process the language they have learned.

5
Drawing also provides an aid to memory. By drawing pictures this helps children to remember vocabulary. Labelling the pictures they have drawn will further increase this.

6
With very young children who are not able to write, drawing becomes a fun activity that can be used to practise language.

7
With young children it's good to use a variety of activities. We call these 'settlers' and 'stirrers'. A settler is a quiet activity where children sit quietly and work at a slower more relaxed pace and a stirrer is the opposite, like a run-around game, or a lively song with actions. Drawing is a good settler-type activity.

8
Drawing also allows for creativity and freer thinking. Kids love to invent and make up things.

9
Drawing can also provide a meaningful and interesting task for students - making a Christmas or Mother's Day card, for example.

10
And last but not least, children learn best when they are having fun and kids love to draw.
