A structured EFL lesson plan based on drama scheme for young learners

Eleni Lagou teaches English as a second language and struggles to raise students into happy and confident citizens developing a great variety of soft skills. The way she has chosen to do so is through experiential learning and interactive teaching. Drama and creative writing, dialogue and discussion are at the heart of her teaching methods. She got to know drama in the department of English Language and Literature in the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, but her drama skills and practice were advanced after completing her postgraduate studies in the Institute of Education of the University of Warwick in Drama and Theatre in Education. Apart from her teaching, she always tries to spread her knowledge and experience organizing workshops, the most highlighting of which is the drama workshop based on the story of «Prometheus Bound» in a group of twenty primary school children in China promoting Greek mythology and history.

It is a hands-on workshop designed for foreign language professionals in Greece - teachers at public and foreign language schools, private lessons teachers, directors of studies, school owners.

This workshop is addressed to English teachers of young learners. It will demonstrate a way for teachers of young learners on how to use Drama techniques to teach some English language without students realize they are actually learning.
Are you struggling to have students understand notions in the English language they are not familiar with in their native language? Are you struggling to help students memorize English words? Drama is there to help you teach.
It requires self-motivation but once you all stand, language acquisition comes without struggling.
The workshop will show you how you can find the motivation you need.
Drama is indeed learning through action.
EFL Teachers do not have to use First Language to explain, they rather act and show. As young learners are active, the particular drama scheme involves a lot of movement accompanied with some words and phrases for participants to comprehend
