ESL For Actors (English as a Second Language)
ESLrnAdvanced/Beginner English for Actors at the Michelle Danner Los Angeles Acting Studio focuses on English language development through the art of acting. By pairing English and drama together, we shift students from learning in the classroom to learning through life, by acting out real world situations. Students are able to bring the classroom to life by learning language and vocabulary in context through reading, writing, speaking, listening and presentation.rnEach class will fuse skill development with the practice of theatre and film performance and production, which may include: improvisation, grammar worksheets, focused discussion, reading samples, script analysis, in-class writing, pronunciation and articulation development, and watching/commenting on works of theatre and film. By making the learning environment safe and interactive, non-native students develop the comfort to let their guard down and subconsciously, welcome the new language with eagerness and enthusiasm.rnBenefits of Learning English Through Actingrn*Acquire meaningful interaction in the languagern*Learn vocabulary and structure in contextrn*Develop the students imagination (thinking in the English language)rn*Encourage independent thinkingrn*Build social awarenessrnrn rnESL: ACTING IN ENGLISH LEVEL 1rnBeginner/Intermediatern3,6, or 12 Month Programsrnrn rnThrough text analysis, table reading, and guided rehearsal, students explore the vocabulary, grammar, subtext and context of a given comedic or dramatic film script. The program focuses on building a foundation for students to grow through a firm acting technique, voice and speech work as well as scene work. The goal is to develop the students’ language skills on multiple levels with a focus on improving their ability to perform in English. Students will be using the language point through drama and comedic films rather than talking about how the language is used.rn*Students perform a short monologue from a comedic or dramatic film a short script, practice the dialogue and perform for fellow students.rnHaving students perform a short drama or comedic script that they’ve developed combines a number of production skills through working in groups.
