T0 DRAMA OR NOT TO DRAMA
Josie Maniscalco
Hands up who has used DRAMA in their lessons?
Why?
Why not ?
1. Don’t have time
2. It’s not serious or effective way of teaching English
3. I’m not creative
4. It’s too noisy and wild
5. We think it is only for the end of year show
Shy away
1. No right or wrong answers
2. Caters for different learning styles
3. Brings learning to life (learning by doing)
4. Boosts self-esteem (builds confidence)
5. Fun and motivating
6. Opportunity to communicate
7. Encourages creativity and develops imagination
8. Makes language memorable
9. Adds a change of pace to lessons
10. Increases concentration and comprehension
Ready, steady ...
