Worries

• I am not a drama/video expert.– You don´t have to, all you need is energy and

imagination and our students have plenty.

• I wouldn´t fancy looking silly in front of my class.– Feeling silly is not easy to overcome.

Just try it! Being here is a good beginning.

Worries

• Drama is not a serious method for learning English. You risk loosing control.– Students could get excited, however once they are

involved and used to the routines. It´s quite straightforward.
