We love using drama in our ESOL and Family Literacy classes. Would you be willing to share your play?
Thanks,

Subject: [FamilyLiteracy 461] Re: Using literature in adult ESL classrooms



To add to Meta's "Goose" story: I rewrote "The Three Pigs in a "play" form for 6 people and used the "th" sound  a lot, for my mostly Spanish speakers.  Three groups of six studied and assigned themselves parts and presented it to the class.  I had 1/2 men and one 1/2 women and  my class had real beginners through fairly high level speakers.  I divided the groups so eacvh one had an advanced speaker and a beginning speaker.  They really helped each other!  
And all knew the story in their own languages!

 

I have also used Aesop for lots of activities in the classroom.
