All the World's A Stage: Drama for Communication - Softcover

The tragic romance of Romeo and Juliet, the spine-tingling secrets of Trifles, a life of illusionary success that ends in the Death of a Salesman . . . from embracing triumph to struggling with self-identity, the five well-known plays in this student book provide a powerful key to learning English! Each chapter presents a world of useful, effective, and worthwhile language strategies that foster genuine, creative communication and explore how drama reflects the world. The chapters feature the following:

· Clear summaries of each play’s plot. The summaries serve as reading comprehension passages and as overviews to help students thoroughly understand the pivotal scenes.

· Innovative pre-reading, in-reading, and post-reading activities for each scene. The selected scenes and activities form complete units, so students can get a feel for the entire drama without actually reading the whole play.

· Entertaining video-viewing tasks. Working with the Video sections encourage students to watch the plays on film, adding a valued listening component and an additional level of interest.

This "stageful" of lively and thought-provoking activities requires minimum preparation time on behalf of the teacher. Use this as a main text in an intermediate reading class or as a supplementary text in conversation classes–it’ll shine stage lights on every English learner!
