This unit combines improvisation techniques from drama and performance in a reflexive-experiential, communicative competence learning environment to free the ability to produce speech in English. Students play games, perform body and voice exercises and improvisations aimed at freeing speech production. The improvisations are then used as the basis for scriptwriting and in-class performances. From the first class to the last, students work in groups in English to discuss and solve problems in the creative process. Exercises and improvisations are used to address specific language structures and issues. Students also maintain a diary to reflect on the learning process. -- Course Website
