In Information Age, people lives in the information. How to acquire and conduct with the information becomes one of people’s qualities. Juvenile is a special group because of their psychological features. They should be cultivated to distinguish and appreciate the things around them. Appreciation is a kind of mental activities. So learning to distinguish and appreciate is merely through class where the juvenile’s brain is the most active in.
The requirements of compulsory education reform and present situation raise questions for our teaching. That is how to find a round way to solve the problems existed in class. The development of aesthetic education makes us confident in it. Before the functions of aesthetic education are not completely recognized, we ignore it. Now, many research demonstrate that aesthetic education plays a very important role in teaching and learning, it penetrates into every part of individual’s learning, especially in acquiring English. Therefore, it is necessary to unite them together. In the following paragraphs, I will interpret the union of aesthetic education and English teaching.
Before the topic is elaborated. I will talk about aesthetic education firstly. The following sections are founded on how to comprehend the concept of aesthetic education.
Aesthetic education, a main branch of curriculum, has existed for a long time. It is the accomplishment of human being’s cognition. As we know, in traditional class, aesthetic education is art such as painting, singing, dancing. In such a class, students are taught to knowledge of art, skills and technical ability. Beauty is treated as an entity and enclosed in a small area. This concept is in accord to the level of human being’s cognition. It ignores people’s attitude, feelings, experience. The outcome of such an education is that some artists create some beautiful things like paintings, sculptures, songs, and so on for most of persons. These artists are elites. Therefore, this sort of aesthetic education is not successful.
（转载自科教范文网http://fw.nseac.com） Nowadays, beauty should not be enclosed in a small area. Beauty is universally exists around the world where human beings acknowledge. Everyone tastes of the world by his own way. Appreciation is internal spiritual demand of one’s own as well as connects with one’s moral standards of behaviors, world outlook, life attitude, state of mind. So appreciation of beauty is individuals’ especial spiritual activity .It is affected by one’s experience and cognitive competence. For instance, people have different opinions on colorful body paintings. Old people may not stand it. Some young people may not mind it. However, the other part of young people may love it and want to try. Everyone appreciates the beauty of the paintings by his own way and makes his own judgment. The judgment generates and becomes his experience. The experience will affect his later appreciation of beauty. When he accumulates the experience to a certain amount, his concept of appreciation of beauty comes into being. Configuration of the concept heralds of configuration of his deep psychological structure, i.e, his moral standards of behavior and world outlook. This deep psychological structure is stabler than before, but is relative and can be changed. Therefore appreciation of beauty is human beings’ spiritual activity. It is arbitrary and connects with the formation of one’s world outlook. Vise versa. If measures are taken to influence juvenile’s appreciation, their deep psychological structure will come into being. Moreover, it will be good for the moulding of their good characters. In terms of aesthetic education, appreciation of beauty is a way by which juvenile’s humane qualities can be strengthened, their discerning power can be promoted and their potential intelligence can be stimulated.
