Drama in Bachillerato

[Noemí Palencia Zapico]

Drama has proved to be a very useful resource in my English lessons, especially with students of the first or second year of Bachillerato. We usually do activities such as role plays with situations that could happen in real life, or sometimes my students adapt some popular fairy tales and turn them into plays that they perform for their classmates. Students have fun and practise their intonation and pronunciation at the same time. Besides, they love rehearsing together and preparing their costumes! Obviously, this kind of activities tend to be a little noisy, but when I see the results I think that everything is well worth!
