Project Summary

The aim of this project is to increase the motivation of both learning and teaching in English.Nowadays teachers have difficulties in the management of the class.Students generally don’t have the interest in school subjects and they lack confidence in learning foreign language.Teaching language is not only in class but the process should continue outside,should be even in the neighbourhood,in another country.In education today no teacher use traditional methods and they all believe in the success of student- centered learning.Drama is one of the best tool used in teaching language,it builds confidence,helps concentration,improves communication skills,encourages students to cooperate,support their skills,develops their creativity.Creative people can view the things in new ways and from different perspective.They can act as in other person’s shoes and generate new ideas.There will be mobilities of students and teachers.Students will be chosen according to some criteria.English teachers who want to make such performances and have good cooperation skills in the organization will attend.There will be 4 students and +2 teachers from each participating organization.For every mobility we will choose different students and teachers so that we can provide more people to join.All the partners will decide about the play after meetings on Twinspace.They will adapt the play according to the number of players,language level,physical features of the students,English teachers will communicate with each other.They will make brainstorming and decide plot,distribution of characters,costumes,music,scene,scripts,decoration,all kinds of sound effects,lighting.Teachers will prepare posters of the play before each mobility.In each mobility,the hosting partner will be responsible for organizing performance.The guest students and teacher may also join drama,English,PE,art classes during the mobilities.The hosting partner will prepare some special activities for the guests such as visiting a fine art academy in the neighbourhood,going to opera performance,theatre,museums,historical sites.Students will be friends with each other,share their cultures and experiences,they can tell each other about their cultures and country.The hosting partner will invite the local press,municipality,governor,director of national education,etc.We can disseminate the project this way.They can announce the event in local newspaper, on website.The hosting partner will be responsible for the events,shows ,recording,announcement,dissemination.During the mobilities the leading country will introduce some drama techniques that are successfully implemented in language classes.Teachers will search for new methods,techniques,sources about using drama techniques and how to add them to the curricula.They will update or rewrite lesson plans based on using drama techniques for all the grades.Teachers will introduce the good examples to the guest teachers and they will also have the chance to observe the curricular and extra curricular activities in teaching language in the partner country. Drama will be an effective technique to teach vocabulary to young learners as a teaching technique that creates supportive intellectual and emotional environments and encourages them to take risks.Drama as a teaching technique promotes long-term retention of vocabulary. Learners need to be actively involved in the learning of words. Students learn a new language to attain communication skills and express themselves.They learn the language to express themselves as individuals.Drama as a teaching technique motivates the students toward further learning and use of the new language as a means of communication.Teachers should be given opportunities to improve their understanding of drama and develop their confidence to be able to implement drama activities.Exchanging the good examples with the partners will help them to gain knowledge and skills about preparation of drama based lesson plans and implementation of drama based lessons within workshops, and collected under a ‘drama materials file’, which teachers can draw upon. Among results there will be: slide-show presentation(s), a Canva-made poster(s), movie with e recorded song, e-booklet(s), short pocket dictionaries, movies of the plays, scripts, survey reports, brochure(s), a website, blog entries, Twinspace materials, drawings,1 or more etwinning projects realised as a spin-off to this project.
