In the frame of our researchwe have outlined main features and rules of communicative approach. Methods and techniques within thecommunicative approach were presented as well.The novelty of the paper on the actual issue related to the introduction of modern methodology in theeducational process is characterized by the description of some methods, such as: contextual method, theintegrative method, role play, chainstory, the method of interval repetitions, Mueller's method, expressmethod оf Ilona Davydova, Pimsler's method, Methods of Dmitry Petrov, Elijah Frank's Method.

“…Moreover, if an art-integrated course succeeds, teachers would gain confidence in the process of art creation, which can further enable them to produce a continuously aesthetic curriculum (Barry, 1996). Shockley et al (2008) also point out that during the teaching process, the underlying teaching content directly influences learners, a concept postulated by all aesthetic perspectives (Yang, 2021). If teachers are aware of their aesthetic sense and can unlock and channel it in response to the classroom environment, they can facilitate aesthetic innovation and curriculum development.…”

Recently, research has increasingly focused on environmental aesthetics and the professional development of teachers. By improving aesthetic quality, including perceptions and experiences, teachers can effectively master and develop professional knowledge and skills. Based on the ecological systems theory of environmental aesthetics, this study primarily explores the impact of the perceptions of Chinese teachers of environmental aesthetics and the impact of aesthetic experience on the professional development of teachers, as well as the mediating effects of aesthetic experience. The study sample consisted of 1800 teachers from 30 universities across China. A total of 1479 valid questionnaires were returned, and a structural equation model was used for validation. The results of the study found that the perception of Chinese teachers about the environmental aesthetics of schools exerted a positive effect on aesthetic experience and professional development and that aesthetic experience exerted a positive effect on professional development. Last, aesthetic experience exerted a mediating effect on the relationship between the perception of teachers about the environmental aesthetics of schools and professional development. The findings suggest that schools promote the professional development of teachers through their environmental aesthetics and the aesthetic experience of teachers, highlighting the importance of school environmental aesthetics for professional development.

“…Lockhorst, Admiraal, and Pilot (2010) state that one way to include reflection-oriented, collaborative learning tasks is through the utilization of technology and structured tasks which require critical reflection on personal experiences and perspectives. Alternately, Shockley, Bond, and Rollins (2008) stress the importance of community building, individualization, and developing a sense of agency in teachers by fostering teachers' identity development, voice experimentation, and perspective-taking. They incorporated arts integration, reflective practice, critical reflection, and teacher research to foster the transformation of teachers' hidden inner curriculum.…”

This paper provides an example of an innovative solution to program development that addresses the diverse needs of teacher educators throughout various geographical locations in Florida, through a collaborative multi-university, muti-agency teacher training program funded by one collaborative grant. Innovation is driven out of need, and I will discuss how I identified the needs at my university and then utilized creativity and collaboration to network and obtain the grant, which then facilitated, developed, and taught in a new M.Ed. program in Arts and Academic Interdisciplinary Education. Program content and delivery were both planned around the diverse student population within the multi-university collaboration, with each university designing diverse programs to address the specific needs of their population but with the same concept of arts integration. Collaboration also occurred within each university: the College of Arts and Science and the College of Education. In addition, teachers were required to collaborate as coaches in their schools to train and support others in increasing arts integration in their schools.
