Dramatic Activity in the French Classroom: Increased Motivation and Oral Communication Skills Luisa Giaitzis

All French teachers have unique skills and personal styles of teaching. Being a French teacher, I believe, involves maintaining a positive outlook toward the responsibility of a teacher ? to create an appreciation for the French language through constructive and engaging curriculum implementation while at the same time building fluency in oral communication. This book, therefore, provides positive strategies that show how the use of dramatic activity in the Junior Core French classroom motivates students' to learn and helps improve their oral communication skills. This book will show students' increased and improved motivation and oral acquisition that were measured by several forms of data collection. Although, the focus of this book is on Junior Core French students, all French teachers can build upon this knowledge to demonstrate that dramatic techniques and interactive approaches to teaching are engaging and exciting.
