DramaWorks presents PopStars and Star Taxi

Speaker: Theo Steckler and the DramaWorks Team
Time: 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM (Sat., September 28th, 2002)
Fee (JALT members): free
Fee (One-Day members): 1,000 yen
Prefecture: Tokyo
City: Tokyo
Venue: Sophia University (JR Yotsuya Stn), Kioizaka Building, room B112
Description: The DramaWorks team, authors of textbooks Star Taxi (2000) and PopStars (2002), will do a presentation using a new method for teaching EFL using drama techniques. This method has been used successfully in secondary and higher education, and would appeal to teachers in these areas. Both are stories told in 20 scenes of dialogue. They are easy and fun to use, and do not require any drama experience, props or special acting ability. They are complete courses, and include warm-ups, language activities and teachers' notes. They may also be used as supplements. This will be a workshop-style, participatory presentation.
