Everyone has advice for her, but Aida must make her own decision about her future.Her Own Worst Enemy is part of the Integrated Skills Through Drama series that teaches speaking and communication skills through the performance of a one-act play.

They learn about body language and gesture as ways to communicate. They analyze the script as a work of literature and also mine it for language and rhetorical strategies to encourage someone, give advice, tease a friend and respond to teasing and talking through an issue. And they learn to apply those strategies to their performance and to real-life situations. A variety of performance options are featured, including Reader?s Theater.Background readings discussing the benefits of the Liberal Arts and STEM majors, as well as profiles of a computer programmer and an opera director round out the curriculum. A number of creative writing projects to rewrite the script, adapt the play, or even write a sequel allow you to extend the learning further.Your students will look forward to class with this innovative resource that utilizes drama in language teaching!Praise for the Integrated Skills Through Drama Series"What a pleasure it was to discover a series totally devoted to the EFL/ESL teacher who may already understand the value of teaching through Drama, or who would like to try this approach for the first time in the classroom" ?Charlyn Wessels Dyers, Author of Drama in the Oxford Resource Series for Teachers"A wealth of preparatory activities, suggestions for varied ways of using the text and helpful suggestions for follow-up.
