THEATRE REINFORCES LANGUAGE COMPREHENSION

We have excellent educational material on our website for each production written by Birgitte Holm Halkjær who is an English teacher based at Borupgaard Gymnasium.
That Theatre Company presents both classic and modern English drama of a high and challenging standard. One of its aims is to inspire and engage teachers & students. Our productions will bring the texts that you study to life. You can have your own classroom on the stage as you go through the educational material.
The idea is that you choose for yourself what you would like to focus on:

“Get the students out of the classroom and into the theatre. This is an excellent way to meet the English language and culture at close quarters. It’s an alternative way of teaching that both motivates and inspires. Students read and discuss the texts in the classroom but in the theatre they hear and meet the texts in a completely different way that clarifies many aspects of the English language for them”.

The feedback we have received from teachers and students has been very positive and we will be carrying this venture forward.
After each production our student audiences can meet the actors for an informal discussion. If you’d like to take advantage of this please write to Ian Burns on info@that-theatre.com or call 33 13 50 42.
