The students are asked to take part in a series of exercises, in English, inspired by improvisational theater. The aim is to learn, in stages, to perform storylines unscripted, alone and in a group, with certain criteria to have to bear in mind. The teacher encourages a few students to try the exercise with her, before getting them working in pairs or small groups. They then give a debriefing, share their observations, analyze any difficulties encountered and strategies adopted and think about how each activity could be applied in business communication situations. The students have to keep a logbook of the exercises done in class, which is assessed.
These sessions have a range of objectives:
Two years ago, we organized a showcase when students on this track* had published, internally, compendia of short stories written collectively. We’d like to do that again this year.
