Akita JALT:

A Drama Approach in an Autonomous Learning Environment

Date: Saturday, February 25th, 2006 Time: 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Speaker: Steve Brown

Description:
Drama in the language classroom is often thought of as just a series of 'techniques' or 'fun activities' aimed to get students actively using the language, but it can be so much more.

In this presentation, Steve Brown links the theory and practice of a drama approach to the area of learner autonomy, arguing that the two areas make an extremely effective combination in the language classroom. He will give a practical demonstration of how such an approach has been used at university level, actively aiming to engage learners in the learning process and encouraging them to work together as a group, sharing the responsibility for their own learning.

This won't be just a talk: participants should expect to be actively engaged and have fun!
