Language learning takes centre stage

Dramalang are using drama techniques to make language learning a more interactive experience. Harriet Clifford met the founders to discover how acting and performing can build students' confidence

Joseph Mees, language teacher, leader, teacher trainer and co-founder of Dramalang, still vividly remembers a history lesson he had while in primary school, when his teacher was in role as a 1940's character. His class was taken to a make-shift air-raid shelter to act out what it was like during the bombings in the Second World War.

All these years later, he explains how the power of drama enabled him to remember this lesson.
