Creative Drama in the Classroom

“I strongly believe in Creative Drama as a way of developing self-confidence while learning a different language. Creative Drama brings students into an artistic frame where they feel safe. There they can enjoy speaking and interacting in a second language without the fear of being judged or corrected. They assimilate pronunciation, acquire meaningful vocabulary items and structures, work with a team, learn discipline from a joyful perspective, and most of all, they have fun. That is all about: having fun while learning. That is my aim as Drama teacher, both with children and with adults. The possibility of learning never dies, that is a gift we’ve all been given, therefore, my aim in each drama class or workshop, is to stir that capacity, to wake it up, in order to enjoy each moment”.
