Save the date! Language Teacher Symposium (LaTeS) 2023

Presenter: Melanie Mello Abstract: Successful communication does not begin and end with what is being spoken but extends to the meaning that is conveyed through our bodies, our tone, our gestures, and our mimics. Creating a learning environment in which social context and interaction are mediated to foster meaningful language production plays an essential role in the development of the cognitive processes that empower learners to acquire language. In this session, participants will be introduced to my top six proven drama-based pedagogical activities, and will put these proposed activities into practice to see firsthand how they further students’ communication skills, collaboration skills, and their creativity and imagination. More details to come, stay tuned!
