TEACHER TRAINING
Half-day course
for language teachers
Important!
You don't need to be funny.
You don't need any experience in the entertainment world.
Experiential:
Participants learn techniques including how to foster "creative complicity" and how to build a playful, fun and effective didactic environment that encourages instinctive learning.
Reflection:
How to integrate practical techniques into classroom teaching activities.
This teacher training course illustrates techniques I have developed over 25 years of experience as a clown, actor, facilitator, and EFL teacher in Italian schools.
My method is a combination of theatrical exercises and theatrical clown techniques embedded in an interactive, dynamic, and fun teaching structure.
To learn more about this technique, read my book, Class Clown
