Learning English as a Second Language
Through Plays and Skits

Dolo Languages offers ESL learning experiences through the use of short classroom plays. "English Mighty Mini-Plays for the Classroom" is a collection of twelve humorous plays targeted for high beginning and intermediate language students.

Patti Lozano's creativity has also produced "Page, Stage & Songs - Latin American Legends". Ten captivating legends in English (6 in prose and 4 in play/script format). There is a CD with ten original songs in a variety of musical styles (a song to accompany, precede or follow each tale). Numerous beautiful collage illustrations bring the characters to life. Musical notation and guitar chords are provided for all songs. Activity pages following each story include complete lyrics, comprehension questions, critical thinking questions and crossword puzzles for review.

Other ideas for teaching ESL through singing, chanting, games, activities, theatre games and storytelling may be found in books and manuals like "Get Them Talking!".
