Our "Drama-Based English Language Course for Teachers and School Staff" is designed to help educators and school administrators at the basic English language level (A2) enhance their language skills through drama. This five-day program, offers an accessible and engaging approach to language learning. In this course, we will use drama as a central component for teaching and learning English. This course incorporates theatrical techniques, role-play, and storytelling to enhance language acquisition and communication skills.

 

Led by experienced native-speaking English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers, this course focuses on practical communication skills in English. Instead of traditional methods, we use drama-based activities, role-plays, and improvisations to make language acquisition a dynamic and enjoyable experience. Whether you are just starting to learn English or want to reinforce your foundational language skills, our course caters to your specific needs. It provides a solid foundation in English grammar and vocabulary for beginners, while more experienced learners can refine and expand their language abilities.

 

This course fosters a collaborative and supportive learning environment where you'll interact with fellow educators and administrators from diverse backgrounds. Through shared experiences and cooperative activities, you'll practice language skills and engage in cross-cultural exchanges. We invite you to explore this engaging language learning experience, where drama serves as your gateway to basic English proficiency. Whether you are new to English or seeking to solidify your foundational skills, this course provides a welcoming and supportive platform for your language journey.
