English & Drama: mayo 2011

Background

I'M ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED THAT DRAMA IS AN EFFECTIVE AND ESSENTIAL TOOL WHILE TEACHING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE. IF TEACHERS AND STUDENTS HAVE FUN, THEN LEARNING IS FUN, AND THE OBJECTIVE IS ACHIEVED.

I studied at Centro Polivalente de Arte in the city of Tandil where I received the degree of Arts Teacher. Then I attended the UCA in the city of Buenos Aires where I graduated as an English Teacher in 1997. In 1998 I attended the Guildhall University in London where I did a special training for Teachers of English as a Second Language (EFL). In 1999 I worked as an actress for an International Theatre Company called The Performers Educational Plays, and I have written and illustrated all the ELT Material for their theatre plays ever since. I worked as an actress in various plays spoken in Spanish and Italian. I also delivered Drama Workshops for children and teenagers in Buenos Aires. I work now as an Illustrator, Drama teacher and ELT material writer.

Thanks to all the attendants!!!

Last Saturday morning we had a great meeting with teachers and advanced students interested in learning Drama techniques in order to reinforce their English teaching methods.
We had fun improvising, singing, miming and playing theatre games.
I shared my love for Drama and the certainty that one of our main aims as teachers is to bring love back to the classroom. Thank you all!!!
