In this episode, I was fortunate enough to sit down with Samanta to dig into Performative Play. She's a specialist for YLs but we talk about ways to integrate Performative Play across all ages in ELT because everyone can play! I got so many ideas from our chat, hopefully you will too!  Thank for watching/listening! Be sure to hit the subscribe button and the bell to get updates on new videos.
