Add a little drama to your English curriculum classes
How interested are you in using drama to introduce English curriculum with students in your classroom. Each curriculum module has an 8-10 minute play for students to act out to introduce the subject which then moves onto questions and discussion. Use the modules as a new lesson plan or with existing resources.
English modules are quick and easy for teachers to use. Fun and interactive for students. If you want your students to follow instructions to tie shoe laces, discuss language used in publicity releases, explore language spoken in meetings, or listen and take part in a discussion then try one of our modules.
You don't need any drama or acting skills, just a sense of fun and a desire to try something different.
