4th DiE Days speakers and facilitators
And the 4th Drama in Education Days in Konstanz are history already! For “appetizers” we had asked our speakers and workshop leaders if they have any drama in education articles, books or videos in English or German that they would like to let us know about and featured them in our Facebook group. Here’s a summary (we actually had more speakers but not everyone had articles in English or German).
Introducing DiE Days speakers #1: Barbora Müller Dočkalová teaches ELT methodology at the Faculty of Education, Charles University Prague. She has more than thirteen years of experience teaching English through drama to both children and adults, and she writes musical plays for them. Here are some of her songs for young learners, with ideas of how you can use them in your classrooms:
