From the Stage to the Classroom: Bringing Language Learning to Life using Performers’ Skillsets
Simon shows how teachers who embrace their inner performers can create more engaging and impactful language learning experiences. Can this quick tour of the main performing artforms provide a fresh blueprint for your teaching practice?
The Long-lasting Impact of Experiential Storytelling
In this talk, we will explore and experience a storytelling technique that will enable tales to remain in our students’ minds and souls for the long-term. I will also explore how to exploit the storytelling experience in creative follow-up activities.
When We Sing Together
In folk clubs, people love singing choruses together, people gather together to make music in ensembles too and though there is, of course a wonderful tradition of solo performers, still, even then, music exists when there is an audience to complete a group experience. If that’s true of music why should it not be true of learning?
Art Imitating Life, Imitating Art
Join actor and author Ben Crystal for a performance about performing. Performance needs both artist and audience. Teacher and cohort of student mirror this dynamic: the ‘performance’ of teacher, and the ‘audience’ of a classroom. How do we perform? And how can the art of performance affect our daily working lives?
