Beyond the Script: Why Drama?
This isn't about putting on a play (unless you want to!). It's about harnessing innovative drama techniques, specifically process drama, to foster a profound level of engagement in your English language learners. Imagine students not just memorising, but experiencing the language in dynamic, interactive ways that lead to deeper understanding and lasting retention.
We know you're busy, and you need strategies that work. That's why this webinar is packed with actionable insights and hands-on activities you can immediately apply in your classroom.
Who Should Attend?
This webinar is specifically designed for English language teachers working with adult international students who are eager to refresh their teaching methods and create more impactful learning experiences. Whether you're a seasoned educator looking for new inspiration or someone completely new to the idea of using drama in the classroom, you'll find valuable takeaways.
An Interactive Experience
We believe in learning by doing. This session isn't just a lecture; it's an interactive experience. Expect live polls to share your thoughts, targeted chat prompts to connect with fellow educators, and an open Q&A session where you can directly ask Dr Pheasant your burning questions. We want you to feel connected, heard, and empowered.
What you will discover
