“Creativity can solve almost any problem. The creative act, the defeat of habit by originality, overcomes everything.” George Lois

I met Anna, my very first guest blogger, at TESOL France in November and I must admit that her workshop really inspired me and enriched my teaching style. I am teaching mainly adults and never actually used drama techniques in classroom. Nevertheless, I like everything new, everything that could possibly inspire and motivate my students, everything that could reach them. You might have noticed from my previous posts that I LOVE any kind of warmer/filler activity that can enrich and enliven the lesson. All those “five-minute activities” are essential when you have to work with given course book. Using these activities does not cost you much (time/energy) and they bring your lessons to life. They bring to life the language your students want/have to learn.
And let me add what I find very important when using them with your students – be creative, experiment and include an element of surprise as often as possible (yet still in context).

Here is Ania’s post.
Thank you very much for inspiration!
