Aesthetic Education of Students in Foreign Language Lessons in Secondary School as a Component of Multicultural Education

Abstract

The article discusses various ways and means of implementing aesthetic education in the classroom and during non-school hours. The authors note that a special place in the education of an aesthetic personality is occupied by art, which embodies the aesthetic category of beauty. For this purpose, excerpts from works of fiction (for example, poems) and other works of art (paintings, movies, etc.) are used to work on language material. The main goal is to form a taste for the beautiful, the ability to read aloud and listen attentively to the poems of English poets, and then express your impression and share your thoughts, repeat or learn lexical and grammatical material. One of the inexhaustible sources of spiritual development of students is poetry. In addition, in foreign language lessons, poetic works are studied for practical purposes: for the formulation and improvement of pronunciation, illustration and memorization of grammatical material, the development of listening and speech skills. Familiarization of students with English and American literature provides an excellent opportunity for the development of their philological flair and literary taste. This allows them to feel the value of the word, responsibility when operating with the word, sharpens their ability to understand and feel the subtle nuances of the word in each language.
