Currently in beta. Lessons added daily.
A free mini workshop written by Emma Pratt in response to her experiences running artists in schools projects and working with visual arts, community and English language learning.
In this first of a series of workshops, Emma looks at how drawing can be used in the language classroom, not only for young learners, but for all ages.
This workshop was developed after face to face workshops were given to teachers in Athens, Greece at the Image Conference 2018 and in Liverpool at the IATEFL annual conference and the Image Conference in Brussels in 2019.
