Theatre as a transformative teaching & learning experience

This semester, the student theatre organization, University Players, and the Center for Innovative Teaching & Learning came together to produce a panel on the pedagogical implications of theatre, particularly for foreign language learners. Instruction that incorporates improvisation and other theatre techniques improves instructors' leadership of the classroom, lowers students' inhibitions, helps them make productive mistakes, and promotes their learning about other cultures. In this workshop and roundtable, faculty panelists from language, culture, and communication courses shared examples of exercises based in educational theatre that promote students' cultural competency. In addition, attendees participated in theatre-based exercises that they could apply to their own classrooms.
