Target learner levels level A2 to B2.

Training objectives The aim of this workshop is to get participants thinking about the role of oral expression in learning French as a foreign language. Giving voice means giving voice, making oneself understood. Through the use of characters, theater enables learners to experiment with postures other than their own. It allows them to work with their bodies and emotions, to venture into places other than those imposed by the traditional learning posture. Using poetic texts and extracts from plays, we'll experiment with reading aloud and theatrical work.

How we work Theoretical elements, body exercises, listening exercises, vocal exercises and acting.
