English Class vs Language Arts in Education

Most schools do not put enough emphasis on the fine arts, namely, as an example the art of language. In an English class when the teacher will focus on reading skills, reading comprehension, grammar and vocabulary, but art is to recognize language written word as an art form.

Yes, we want our students to study and master the English language. But the arts are reserved as a different kind of teaching, preferably in a creative writing class that is separate from the English class.But every English course, should, if there is no specific language arts class is required at least one unit on the beauty and importance of the literary work is concentrated over the centuries. Poems, plays, song lyrics, screenplays, novels, by authors such as Shakespeare, Dylan Thomas, Ken Kesey, Harper Lee, etc.

The language is composed of words, words have special meaning and sometimes lead double significance. So the main instrument of the language of words, the otherSound. These words can be combined with an almost musical aim to show the transformation of words and basic communication in art.

Words are the writer, the painter what color they are, what the instrument to the musicians, and they are, what tone and pitch of a singer. That is why children understand that English is not only what they learn in English class, but the language itself, the language of art produced prior years must.

The blank page means to theWriter, what the score of the music means to the musicians. The blank page is an empty canvas, untouched page in a sketchbook, and so on, is the blank page, the thing that every artist to make the written word must be alive.

As I mentioned, there is a musical aspect and technique of literary language, the difficulty, without excellent examples to grasp it. The musical technique in the art of language is involved, the works of William ExampleShakespeare, but he is just one of many. The poem, reading silently or aloud. If a certain song have it. Whether written in iambic pentameter as a sestina or should be in the modern style of free form, the music to be there. For example, in a poem by Dylan Thomas, the first stanza reads:

"Do not go gentle into that good night

Old age should burn and rave at the end of the day;

Rage, Rage Against the Dying of the Light.

Although Wisewhite at its end, is dark right

Because their words had forked no lightning they

Do not go gentle into that good night ... "

The poem was seen as Dylan Thomas wrote his father was dying, and there are a beautiful song. Note the repetition. The syntax, note that use the words as ordinary speech is different, there are articles such as "the" or "a" that the drop-author will be removed for reasons of rhythm. This particularPoetry is easy to find in the library or the Internet, and I recommend it as a tool for any Language Arts teacher.

It is art and beauty, form, use of syllables, pitch, tempo and sound even in prose. So your students to show the versatility of the words.

If there is one thing I liked was at the high school is what I read in Advanced English class, learned the exclusive for the analysis of literary art
