| 課程目標 | Class participants will play and perform in English,doing more interactive conversation than they likely have done in any English course.This is accomplished through playful exercises, skits and improv games as well as short readings with collective discussion.“Mistakes”are great! We laugh a lot and speak English any way we want, like children. By playing/pretending to be speakers of English, we become speakers of English. |

| 第1堂 | Play
Introduction: How playing helps us to grow; group will do improv games and playful exercises, mixed with selected readings on play and development and a group exploration of their meaning. As will be true every week,we will have lots of open conversation. |
| 第2堂 | Meet Lev
Vygotsky
Reading selection on role of play in human development:children learn language by playing, all day long, with support of adults. They babble and we respond to them as if they are using language, even before they are! This is a useful model for us to follow in learning a second language— at any age. We will have brief discussion of this, but more importantly, we will continue to use a mix of improv games and playful exercises so that students speak and listen a lot, make plenty of mistakes and have fun performing as English speakers. |
