KA1 COURSES STAFF MOBILITY FOR TEACHERS

DRAMA TECHNIQUES FOR CREATIVE TEACHING

The course is aimed at introducing drama and improvisation techniques to the participants to enhance and extend teacher’s communication skills and to provide the teacher with the confidence to use these new skills as methodology in the classroom. The participant will complete this course with a comprehensive variety of engaging and productive activities that are designed to complement learning by encouraging the student with a real desire to listen, speak and write fluently, actively and creatively. This course also provides a large amount of teaching practices throughout.

Objectives and expected results

The course aims to develop teachers’ comprehension of improvisation/ drama methodology for use in the classroom and to enhance the teacher classroom performance and explore effective
professional communication and skills.

The training course is based on a series of modules, which can be adapted to the requirements of the course participants. The emphasis is put on practice and exercises and includes:

• making use of drama in class (overcoming anxiety, confidence-building, binding the group together)
• making most of the right-brain in learning through music, art and imagination
• using the voice and the body to learn intonation and stress, vocabulary, language structures and communication skills
• using drama in integrated teaching skills effectively.

Target audience:

• Teachers, group leaders and trainers of all ages and teaching levels
• any previous experience with drama is not a prerequisite for the trainers in order to attend this course but must be prepared to participate actively in activities.

They must attend with a strong desire to explore the enormous potential drama provides for using creative and imaginative English in the language classroom.

Methodology:

Based on formal, informal and non formal learning, our methodology will try to stimulate active participation, pro-activity, responsibility and sharing of problems and thoughts of all participants involved.

Drama is an active approach to learning where participants identify with roles and situations to be able to engage with, explore and understand the world they live in.
Most teachers nowadays advocate some elements of a ‘Communicative Approach’ and therefore recognise and appreciate the value of drama in classroom. Drama can be defined as activity involving people in a social context and there is no doubt that effective communication in social situations involves other forms of communication that go beyond language competence and includes the use of gesture, body posture, intonation and other prosodic features. However the inclusion of drama based activities is not so evident in current course books, resource books, supplementary materials and teacher training courses. Teachers clearly need practical step by step guidance on how to incorporate drama more comprehensively and cohesively into their teaching.
