Drama and Literature SIG

Attention: open in a new window.

Adult as well as younger learners enjoy the kinaesthetic aspect of drama and the fact that all the senses are involved in tackling a piece of fiction or non-fiction through drama - with the result of enhanced skills in speaking and writing. The drama and literature SIG is a forum for drama teachers in Switzerland to swap new ideas and brush up old ones. It also offers newcomers to drama the opportunity to become familiar with this teaching method through workshops. Everybody is welcome, and if you would like to have more information, please contact Gillian Eames.
