I have been teaching English in France since 1991, and, in March 2007, I decided to create “English Com’Eddy Theatre”. This was in response to a phenomenon that became increasingly apparent to me throughout my earlier teaching years. Comedy theatre is a great medium to teach English to children and adults. |

I believe that one of the most successful and indeed enjoyable ways to learn, is by sketches and role play. Students’ motivation to improve Grammar will follow when they feel the satisfaction of being able to communicate in the language.

I started teaching English in Bordeaux for different organisations and perceived a real need for a different approach in teaching methods – I began using humour as my principal common denominator. I wrote short sketches with elements of humour based on things one would say when engaging in conversation with an English speaking person i.e. How to introduce oneself. At that time I worked in primary schools with children from seven to eleven and was amazed how quickly they learnt. I witnessed how children could overcome their timidity.

Humour is a powerful device ! The hilarious situations and wildly exaggerated characters to be discovered in “English Com’Eddy Theatre” plays, promote a fun learning environment in which students – children and adults are motivated to study the language more closely to find and enjoy the humour in the text. From that, springs enjoyment and the growing desire to communicate in English. |
