Event

Problem solving as a Means of Oral and Written Expression through Role-Play

Sunday, May 13th, 2001, 2:00 PM - 4:30 PM

Speaker: Nathalie Lewis

In the EFL classroom, how can we assist our students in improving their speaking and writing skills? The presentation will begin briefly with how drama theory, particularly in regard to how obstacle, conflict, and aim may be used through role-play in the foreign language classroom. The remainder of the presentation will demonstrate how structured mystery and Dear Abby role-plays, particularly because of their problem-centered focus, may be used in exercising speaking and writing in the EFL classroom.
