Q2 is turning the page — and every panel is packed with Language in Action™!

Stu Blair

As part of an ongoing 10-week Language in Action™ program, French, Spanish, and English students explore creative writing through character and scene selection, incorporating focused text with fantastic results!

This innovative program blends sequential art, language meditation, drama, and improvisation to ignite language learning in fresh and transformative ways.

Each week, students participate in interactive masterclasses that use comics, storytelling, and embodied learning to reframe classrooms into immersive, student-centred spaces.

The enthusiasm and curiosity from students in Adelaide, eager to add dynamism to their linguistic project work, continues to grow, affirming the power of creativity in language education!
