Teaching English Through Drama
Dates:
Start date: 27th May 2023
Finish date: 7th July 2023
Is it for me?
Do you feel you'd like a big transformation after Covid?
Do you ever feel you’d like to change the dynamics of your English language classes?
Do you have some challenging students in some of your classes?
Do you get frustrated with current methodology?
Do you want to engage ALL your students?
Do you want to solve your discipline problems?
Do you want to help those who lack motivation?
Do you support inclusion?
Do you want to ENJOY your job and avoid teacher burnout?
If you answered yes to any of these questions this course may well be for you!
And you DON'T have to have had any previous Drama or Theatre experience.
This course is NOT for Drama teachers. It is NOT for learning how to do the school concert. (Although it will certainly help!)
It IS for English Language teachers who feel they are beginners at using Drama to teach language.
There are plenty of courses on the market, some for free……but there’s not another one like this that shows you HOW to change and offers you the theory to explain to authorities and parents why you are doing so. There's not another one whose facilitator is a trained Educational Drama teacher from Warwick University in UK and who has 50 years experience in 17 countries teaching English through Drama or training teachers in the discipline.
Syllabus
Venue: Google Classroom, ZOOM, Padlet
The course is intended for in-service teachers and teacher trainees of Young Learners (3-18 and older) who wish to innovate in their classrooms to make their classes more dynamic and effective. Both you and your students will benefit from this course from learning good breathing for well-being, how to manage an active and interactive classroom, games for pronunciation, relaxation, concentration and fluency.
It is the why, the what and the HOW of becoming a more creative and motivating teacher and having fun while teaching and learning. Participants will be expected to participate actively on-line and do some substantial reading and researching. There will be a synchronous meeting on the following Saturdays which will take the form of a LIVE ZOOM webinar with chat and participation in break out rooms:
May 27th,
June 3rd, 10th, 17th and 24th
July 1st
