“They are activities [. . .] based on techniques used by actors [through which] students are given opportunities to use their own personality in creating the material on which part of the language class is based”

(Maley and Duff 2)

What are drama techniques?

Keep in mind:◦ Aim: Reasons for doing the activity

◦ Focus: Linguistic objectives

◦ Level: Students for whom the activities were designed

◦ Time: How long the activity will take

◦ Preparation: Everything you need for the activity

◦ Procedure: Instructions

When using a drama technique. . .

Think of:◦ Follow-on: Extension of the activity (homework,

discussion, etc)

◦ Variation: Different ways of doing it, depending of level, experience, etc.

◦ Notes: Write a brief report about the results, including good and bad aspects

After using a drama technique. . .

Students perform an invented situation.
