Research highlights the pedagogical value of integrating music and art into EFL classrooms. Specifically, singing-based instruction is associated with improved vocabulary retention and pronunciation accuracy (Zhang et al., 2023), while art-integrated activities promote curiosity, active participation, and learner engagement (Gandhioke & Singh, 2024). However, few instructional designs systematically combine both modalities, representing an underexplored opportunity to deepen language retention and creative expression. This presentation introduces a structured, layered activity that integrates music, art, and language learning within a cohesive multimodal framework, thereby creating an immersive learning experience that supports diverse learning styles. Participants will engage in a guided, hands-on demonstration of the integrated music-and-art activities.
