There is no better way than learning something while doing something you like! My students love to do art but they need to learn a second language and in our school I teach Italian. I give students art projects (drawings) and I ask them to explain what they draw using only their knowledge of Italian.
The result is astonishing: students will go above and beyond to explain in writing what they drew and they even research words to be precise, but the best part is that they do it while having FUN!
They have a great time and they are learning new words and sentences without even realizing they even do research in a new language.
