    Théâtre et apprentissage

    Walid Mbarek partage avec nous sa passion pour le théâtre comme outil d’apprentissage. Le théâtre, en tant que pratique artistique, se révèle être un outil efficace et transformateur pour l’apprentissage des langues. Sur le plan personnel, il permet de développer la voix de l’élève et son agentivité, en lui offrant un espace pour s’exprimer avec confiance et prendre des initiatives dans son apprentissage. Il contribue également au bien-être en renforçant l’estime de soi et en réduisant le stress grâce à une approche ludique et créative. Sur le plan collectif, le théâtre favorise la collaboration et l’intelligence relationnelle, en encourageant les élèves à travailler ensemble, à écouter activement et à comprendre les perspectives des autres, ce qui enrichit la dynamique de classe. Enfin, il stimule la cognition en mobilisant la mémoire, la créativité et les compétences linguistiques dans des contextes authentiques, rendant l’apprentissage des langues plus vivant et significatif.
