INTRODUCTION

Do you want your students to gain confidence, communicate more freely, and enjoy learning languages?
This innovative training course offers foreign language and CLIL teachers practical, hands-on strategies to bring their classrooms to life through music and theatre. By exploring creative approaches to language learning, it aims to enhance the quality and inclusiveness of plurilingual education, empowering teachers to integrate the performing arts into their daily practice in meaningful and engaging ways. Through interactive activities and collaborative creative tasks, participants will discover how music and theatre can support the development of plurilingual competence, boost students’ communicative skills, and foster a more dynamic and inclusive classroom environment.
Music and theatre are powerful tools for language teaching. They naturally engage multiple intelligences, foster emotional connection, and encourage spontaneous communication. Through the integration of these arts-based methodologies, teachers can create safe spaces where students feel confident to express themselves, experiment with language, and develop both linguistic and socio-emotional competencies.
Bringing in materials from various countries and cultures, participants will have a wealth of practical new material and activities to use immediately. Special emphasis will be placed on adapting techniques to diverse learner needs. By the end of the course, teachers will be equipped with practical tools to enrich their teaching and inspire confident, expressive language use among their students.
