Using fables and folktales can liven the classroom environment and encourage students’ enthusiasm for learning. Philosophical, rational, popular and vivid, the genre can be employed as an effective and convenient teaching tool in the classroom.
By taking a closer look at the characters in fables and how they express themselves through their actions and movements, the workshop aims to guide teachers and provide strategies in the cultivation of students’ listening, observation, thinking and speaking skills.
Let's use fables as training material, and it will take us into a realm of selflessness, a journey through a world of fantasy.
Recommended for Drama CCA Teachers-in-charge.
This workshop is conducted in Mandarin.
工作坊将从寓言故事开始，通过人物的动作和肢体表情来表达自己，结合表演的基本手段，指导教师如何运用这一手段来培养学生听、看、想、说的综合技能。
寓言故事具有生动、有趣、思想性、教育性、能活跃课堂气氛、调动学生学习热情等特点，故事哲学理性，形象生动，短小精练，很受欢迎，也是艺术竞赛和考试中经常使用的文艺体裁。这是一种方便有效的教育方式。
让我们用寓言作为训练材料，它将带我们进入一个无私的境界，一个穿越幻想世界的旅程。
