This interactive workshop introduces creative ways to teach English to young learners through dance and movement. Participants will experience techniques such as Total Physical Response (TPR), choreographed storytelling, and gesture-based vocabulary learning that reduce reliance on the first language and foster natural acquisition. By integrating movement with language instruction, teachers can create immersive and engaging lessons. Attendees will leave with practical strategies to enhance comprehension, retention, and communication while making English learning joyful and dynamic.

By integrating dance into the curriculum, we reduce reliance on the first language and enhance language acquisition.
