CRLT Forum Theatre

 

Forum Theatre Workshops

Forum Theatre Workshops allow instructors to identify and strategize about challenges they face in the classroom.  Drawing from their own experience, attendees take turns stepping into the role of the instructor or main character, each trying a different approach to the problem.  Attendee's varied approaches to the sketch and audience's subsequent discussion reveals multiple perspectives on the issues.

Student Conflict in the Classroom focuses on a classroom conversation that suddenly turns contentious, exploring questions surrounding students’ backgrounds and conflicting perspectives, instructor responsibility, and what does or does not constitute subject-appropriate discussion in the classroom.
