KOTESOL International Conference 2016
(Concurrent Session)
Rose Golder-Novick, English Language Fellow
Using Improvisation Activities for English Speaking Practice
Abstract
Improvisation is not only for entertainment in a theater. Improvisation games and activities help English language learners build public speaking skills, practice authentic (ie unplanned) language, and foster collaboration in the classroom. In this workshop the presenter will introduce and demonstrate several improvisation games that teachers/instructors can use in their classes to promote speaking among students. Participants will have a chance to practice some of the activities.
