Annotation
The course is interactive, practically oriented, aimed at students who take interest in using drama techniques in the English classroom. Dramatic playing, whether scripted or improvised, enables teachers to bring an unlimited number of situations into the classroom that their students can enter and act in.
Drama-based techniques can thus promote active and holistic engagement of learners in the learning process. In the first few seminars, examples of drama-based techniques suitable for regular English classes will be shared, from short activities to full 45-minute lessons.
In the second half of the semester, students will prepare and execute activities themselves.
