Spotlight on Oracy: Dual Language Club

Unleash the power of your voice! This enrichment club uses the art of theatre and script-reading to bridge the gap between language learning and confident communication. Whether we are diving into English or Spanish, our focus is on oracy—the ability to express yourself fluently and effectively.

By stepping into the shoes of diverse characters, students will:

• Expand Vocabulary: Discover rich, contextual language that goes far beyond a textbook.
• Master Pronunciation: Practice the rhythm, intonation, and nuances of a new language through active performance.
• Build Confidence: Conquer the fear of public speaking in a supportive, creative environment.

From classical scenes to modern dialogues, we use the script as a map to navigate new cultures and words. No experience is necessary—just a willingness to speak up!

Bajo el Reflector: Club de lenguaje dual 

¡Libera el poder de tu voz! Este club de enriquecimiento utiliza el teatro y la lectura de guiones para unir el aprendizaje de idiomas con una comunicación segura. Ya sea que nos enfoquemos en el inglés o en el español, nuestro objetivo es la oracidad: la capacidad de expresarse con fluidez y eficacia.

Al ponerse en la piel de diversos personajes, los estudiantes lograrán:

• Ampliar su Vocabulario: Descubrir un lenguaje rico y contextualizado que va mucho más allá de un libro de texto.
• Dominar la Pronunciación: Practicar el ritmo, la entonación y los matices de un nuevo idioma a través de la actuación.
• Desarrollar Confianza: Superar el miedo a hablar en público en un entorno creativo y de apoyo.

Desde escenas clásicas hasta diálogos modernos, utilizamos el guion como un mapa para explorar nuevas culturas y palabras. ¡No se necesita experiencia, solo las ganas de hablar!
