By their means we are able to develop positive atmosphere and bring fun to our group of students. Improv techniques lower communicative anxiety, build self-confidence especially in speaking and listening, empower spontaneous and authentic communication, develop public speaking skills and offer practice that simulates a real-life experience. From the perspective of psychology of second and foreign language acquisition they contribute to the development of implicit language knowledge and system. |
