Sydney Theatre Program has partnered up with Australian Red Cross, Asylum Seekers Centre and MTC Australia to deliver a new and innovative program.
‘Connected: Adult Language Learning through Drama’ (CALLD) is a Sydney Theatre program that combines drama approaches with English language learning for adult migrants, refugees and asylum seekers. It is a research-informed approach to literacy education through drama.
The program is delivered as weekly workshops where participants have fun, make social connections and gain confidence in speaking English.
In this webinar, we will talk through the research underpinning the program, as well as practical approaches to using drama in adult EALD classrooms to engage students and improve confidence in speaking English. We will also report from the preliminary outcomes of our research.
