Drama with Children

Oxford University Press, 1999. - 154 р.In this new book, Sarah Phillips comprehensively addresses these two needs. She offers carefully structured activities with clearly articulated educational and language teaching aims. And the book brings together a collection of ideas, texts, and activities which the busy teacher of young children can draw upon to suit the needs of her own class. It begins with dramatization activities, such as mime, and goes on to the use of songs, rhymes, and chants, the making and use of puppets, and the use of playscripts. It culminates with slightly more advanced role play and simulation activities.As the demand for English for younger learners continues to grow, so too does the demand for reliable and stimulating teaching materials.This collection represents a significant addition to the resources available to teachers at this level, and is a fitting extension of the work available in Sarah Phillips’ earlier book in this series, Young Learners, which has already proved such a well-tried favourite.
