Drama activities can SPICE up your ELT Classroom to engage and include all students in a joyful action packed experience where you can achieve more effective outcomes especially in the Speaking Skills. The basic theory behind Drama in Education will be covered briefly but learning the HOW of putting Drama into practice will take priority. You will experience activities to improve confidence, communication skills, body language, voice production and fluency. Activities include breathing, body and voice exercises borrowed from stagecraft, language games, improvisations and role play. By the end of the course you will be able to take both yourselves and your students from wailing “I can’t….” to shouting “I CAN!”
