Dear all,
I have recently attended a workshop conducted by Paul Harvey, an English teacher trainer at the British Council, and I was amazed at what simple drama material could do to motivate and engage students.Very simple dialogues and roleplays to instill grammar structures in students �minds.Look at this example to teach can-can �t:
A: Help me!
B: I can�t.
A: Please.
B: No
A: Why?
B: Because.
A: Because what?
B: Because I can�t.
A: Why can�t you?
B: Because it�s impossible
A: But�.
B: Look, I�m very sorry but I can�t help you.
A: Please, please, please
B: No, no, no!
A: No
B: No
A: Oh. Oh dear, oh dear.(Walks away)
B: Wait
A :( Turns around) Yes?
B: OK
A: Really?
B: Yes.
A: You can?
B: Yes. I can
A: Oh, thank you, thank you thank you!
