Length: 45 minutes
Audience focus: Teachers of young learners, Teachers of adolescent leaners, Teachers of adult learners, Teacher trainers
We specialise in training teachers to use drama as a way to enhance their students' learning. We don't train teachers to be actors. But we think some of the techniques actors use can make lessons memorable. They will be more focused, more interested and more engaged, so will better retain their learning. Our workshop will give teachers a set of theatrical 'tools' that will help deliver powerful lessons in any and all subjects (not just languages). This is a practical session that will give you a chance to try out methods of teaching you have never even dreamed of! And you'll have a good laugh!
