Dynamic Dialogues
Dramatic Role-plays for the ESL Classroom
by
Melee Hutton
Thirty years of theatre experience and ten years of teaching ESL has equipped Melee Hutton with the vision and expertise to create an innovative approach to English as a Second Language instruction. Using twenty distinct and imaginative scenarios which Ms. Hutton has crafted, students can engage in structured role play while having their imagination ignited in a student-centered learning environment. Interesting concepts and useful terms are introduced and explored in a relevant context, making learning enjoyable, memorable, and accessible.
“Melee Hutton has won prizes and nominations for her acting work in both England and Canada, and has worked in some of the world’s most prestigious theatres – notably the Royal National Theatre of Great Britain, The Royal Court Theatre and the Garrick and Apollo theatres in London’s West End. She has the distinction of being nominated in two consecutive years for Toronto’s Dora Mavor Moore Awards: in 2012 for Outstanding Performance and in 2013 for Outstanding Direction. She is a passionate communicator who possesses the required combination of professional credibility and artistic excellence to lead others on the path to vibrant communication skills in the theatre, in the corporate world and in the classroom. Dynamic Dialogues is a wonderful combination of her talents and I am sure will be of great aid to teachers and students alike.” David Matheson, Professor, Sheridan College.
