                                                                Are you curious about using drama in your classroom? Or, do you use drama but need fresh ideas?  This website is for you!

                                                                This site is designed as a resource for ESL/EFL teachers who are interested in learning how to incorporate dramatic techniques into their lessons. All documents, handouts, and materials on this website are available for you to use, copy, and distribute freely (please mention where you found the materials, though!).

                                                                This site contains information about using dramatic techniques in language learning classes--from creating a more "dramatic" activity to creating a more "dramatic" class. In each section, you will find information about incorporating various techniques into your daily lessons. You will find these sections as tabs at the top of the page. Additionally, the components for an entire Drama/ESL course is available in the tab above labeled "Sample Curriculum".  This section contains all you need to know to incorporate your own "Drama in the ESL Classroom" course into your existing language program. See "Resources" for additional reading, textbooks, and websites of use.
