Need to Learn a New Language? Take an Improv Class
Over the past two years, my wife and I have been diligently establishing an improv company in Zaragoza, Spain. Upon my initial relocation, my proficiency in Spanish was limited. However, since then, I have not only performed in both English and Spanish but also taught English to adults and children through Applied Improvisation techniques. This report encapsulates our journey and showcases a workshop featuring games tailored to this unique context. Throughout the workshop, participants will actively engage in these games, while the debriefing process will be meticulously directed toward language practice objectives. We offer this approach as a flexible framework, allowing for the adaptation of games to suit specific needs. Furthermore, we will explore how improv serves as a catalyst for language acquisition across diverse learner backgrounds, including native speakers. Indeed, improvisation emerges as an expressive art form that fosters profound language exploration.
