ART TECHNOLOGY FOR SPEAKING SKILLS DEVELOPMENT

The article examines ART Technology as a pedagogical approach for developing

speaking skills in EFL and ESL classrooms. In this study, the abbreviation ART is interpreted as an

integrated model consisting of Artistic stimulus, Reflective rehearsal and Task-based transfer. The

purpose of the article is to substantiate how visual, dramatic and multimodal art tasks can increase

learners’ speech initiative, reduce communicative anxiety and provide authentic reasons for oral

interaction. The methodological basis includes analysis of literature on speaking pedagogy, output

and interaction hypotheses, sociocultural learning and arts-based language instruction. The article

proposes a lesson procedure, teacher and learner roles, assessment criteria and practical tasks for

classroom application. It is argued that ART Technology improves speaking development not as

entertainment but as a structured pedagogical technology that links creative perception with focused

language production. The practical value of the article lies in the adaptability of the model for

secondary school, university and language-centre contexts where learners need motivating and

emotionally safe opportunities for oral practice.
