STEP 3- Introducing the Play to The Students 

1. The teacher reads out loud in the Target language;
2. The students read out loud in English by roles;
3. The teacher could ask questions in the target language about the play;
4. Class discussions about the characters and the settings.

Why organize a theater event:

• The purpose of organizing a theater event in a school setting is to celebrate the language and the culture(s), associated with the language.

• To promote a language program within the community; 

• to increase the interest toward the target language and culture.

• To develop the skills necessary to work as a team; 

• to help the students feel more confident when speaking in front of an audience;  

• to improve the pronunciation in the target language; 

• to build a community.

• It is fun and engaging; the students take risks and innovate; their motivation of learning the language increases;

• Maybe most importantly, it creates intercultural connections and experiences.
