Ways into Worlds

Ways into Worlds

Richard Chinn (Brasshouse Language Centre, Birmingham, UK)

This session will explore some tried and tested activities for engaging learners through improvisation and will include tasks which build confidence, promote spontaneous speaking, strengthen group dynamics, encourage creativity and allow for a fun way to practise language. By using video and photos of students doing these activities, the session will cover multi-level drama techniques, some of which have been inspired by the theatrical work of the revolutionary theatre practitioner Augusto Boal.
