Using drama activities with diverse levels of university students

As teachers, we are always looking for ways to motivate and engage our learners, particularly at university level in Japan. One way to do this is through the use of drama and drama-related activities.
Amanda Gillis-Furutaka and Sandra Healy will discuss practical ways in which to introduce drama into the classroom.
Sandra Healy will describe approaches using Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” with lower level students. Amanda Gillis-Furutaka will describe an elective course, which follows a task-based approach, for 3rd year English majors.
