Date: Friday 19 September 2025
Time: 16:00 - 17:30
Presenter: Esther Willkey / Camilla Fletcher
Discover how Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) rehearsal room strategies – combined with Shakespeare’s narratives and language – can enliven your ESOL teaching. This interactive webinar will show you how to use these approaches to accelerate language learning, build self-confidence and resilience, and watch your learners flourish.
No prior Shakespeare knowledge is necessary: you’ll hear student impact stories and see practical demonstrations of how this pedagogy works online. You’ll leave with tools and ideas to bring Shakespeare-inspired, active learning into your own classroom, with strategies that can be adapted for all levels of ESOL reading, writing, speaking and listening.
