SALAS, Jonnathan. The use of theater in the English class as a didactic strategy. InterSedes [online]. 2016, vol.17, n.36, pp.155-209. ISSN 2215-2458.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/isucr.v17i36.27467.

Language teaching has gone through different stages throughout history. Many methods and approaches have been tried out in order to reach an effective learning. Innovation in the field of teaching must be constant and diverse. The following article presents the systematization of an educative experience carried out at the Colegio Laboratorio del Colegio Universitario de Puntarenas (CUP) with students from seventh and eleventh grade. This experience consists on the implementation of theater techniques for the collective creation of an original play in which the students are in charge of providing ideas and writing the scripts. All of this is developed in English aiming to reach an improvement in students’ oral and personal skills. This activity is also aimed to stimulate participants’ multiple intelligences in order to get significant learning.
