Teaching Oral Language Through Drama

In this energising online workshop, Drama in Education specialist, Jodie Whitehurst, will share a series of simple, accessible drama techniques to help teachers engage and motivate their EAL/D learners. Learning through drama allows students to connect their brains with their bodies, leading to more expressive communication and greater retention of new language structures. Participants will explore these drama-based strategies through hands-on participation, allowing them to gain a sense of how such learning will feel for their students. No previous drama experience is required – just bring an open mind and a sense of fun!

Date: Tuesday 28 May 2024 3:30 PM – 4:30 PM (UTC+09:30)
