Blackboard drawing: Techniques and ideas to support language teaching in classes 1-4

Why blackboard drawing in language lessons? Blackboard drawing can promote understanding, support games, and build relationships. Drawing is also another way of engaging artistically with the content in language lessons. If accompanied well, the children will “draw in English”. After being thoroughly active, it is a time when pupils can calm down and re-centre themselves.

On this course, participants will have the opportunity to explore the potential uses of blackboard drawing, to dare to draw, to practice basic techniques and to create their own pictures. We will discover how blackboard drawing can bring stories and rhymes to life. We will also discuss the value of drawing (in moderation) with children in language lessons, and have time for questions and reflection. 

No previous ability is necessary other than openness and curiosity!
