This study focuses on 3rd and 4th-grade elementary school students. The integrated curriculum mentioned in the 7th National Curriculum was partially revised and supplemented in 2015 in response to changes in society, making it essential to try more diverse and creative education methods. In light of this, the researcher aims to develop integrated art and English program content by utilizing the theoretical background and insights from previous studies on the integration of art and English. To address the program's shortcomings, the researcher seeks to integrate theoretical perspectives such as Content- Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) and Discipline-Based Art Education (DBAE). The development of the integrated program content is based on these two theories, aiming to bridge the distinct characteristics between the two subjects. The proposed development of English art education content was preceded by a survey of prerequisite requirements. The program aims to progressively cultivate children's language skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. This integrated approach is expected to lead to several key outcomes. First, it will improve students' language skills by engaging them in contextually relevant art activities. Second, by combining art with English education, the program will increase student engagement and motivation, making learning more enjoyable and effective. Additionally, the integration is expected to contribute to the creation of diverse and innovative educational materials, supporting a richer curriculum. Finally, this model will facilitate the broader adoption and dissemination of integrated art-English programs, enriching future educational practices and materials.

Key words: Integrated education, Content-Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), Discipline-Based Art Education (DBAE), content textbook development, art-English.
