Abstract

This abstract provides an overview of the integration of art in English teaching through storybooks to readers in an ESL classroom. It encompasses the definition of storybooks, their purpose in teaching English, the issues associated with their use, the implementation strategies for incorporating storybooks into English instruction, and the significance of storybooks for both teachers and readers. The integration of art in English teaching through storybooks offers a valuable approach to engage readers in ESL classrooms. While there may be challenges in using storybooks, implementing appropriate strategies can address these issues. By leveraging the power of storybooks, teachers can enhance language learning outcomes and create a positive and inspiring learning environment for their readers.
