My study is to investigate how art as an educational tool has a special place in Waldorf Schools, especially in foreign language education field. Being a English teaching in junior high school for three years, I always wonder about how to motivate students to gain a truly understanding of not only regarding foreign language as a practical tool in earning better grades or materialistic gains but also as a way in being able to empathize with other people’s perspective and see the world differently. Therefore, I try to find a paradigm which shows a way of being capable of teaching students as a whole person. Waldorf Schools may be the accessible example of this kind of education paradigm, and that’s what I intend to explore and conduct a research for. Hopefully, my result would demonstrate a different viewpoint in language teaching with the possibility of being able to apply to my own teaching as well as other teachers’ in the mainstream education system. Given my objectives, interviewing with the foreign language teachers in Waldorf School of Taiwan is the best way of collecting experiential data. Based on the perspective of thinking of art as dynamic forces in education and great entry point in versatile teaching and learning, we can see Waldorf education system is devoted to promote students’ affective forces and help balance their body, soul and spirit. However, each unique teaching style may lead to different results and reflections. I would like to show how those artistic ideals originated from Rudolf Steiner’s anthroposophy theory are adopted and practiced in Waldorf Schools.
