Learning outcomes
The aim the course is to show learners through theatre-pedagogical techniques how the can solve problems related to foreign language acquisition. The course is not limited to the taching of grammar - which is firmly established in the classroom - but also hel cope with stage fright and other problems associated with public speaking. Since the exercises focus on relaxation and on the acceptance of one's own body, they have universal use in foreign language classes.
