Art technologies as means of future school psychologists’ vocabulary development

Abstract

The article deals with art technologies that are widely used for foreign language learning and teaching. It analyses the elements of art therapy used for foreign language acquisition, and states that they can stimulate the imagination, develop thinking, and create a situation for students to develop their vocabulary together with professional practices. At the same time, it helps students to acquire rules of language etiquette, search for techniques to solve professional situations, develop the skills of speaking and listening. Art-therapeutic methods create a favourable psychological climate and mastering a foreign language takes place in natural conditions.
