This book introduces a new model for learning English in primary schools using puppets and drama classes. Through a series of workshops and sessions (drama classes) that combine theatre and movement, children become familiar with the foreign language in a natural and enjoyable way. Interactive puppets transmit various feelings such as joy, surprise, anticipation, and engagement. They speak and interact with the children, encouraging them to practise spoken English through role-playing and expressive activities.

The book also includes illustrated flashcards to cut out, enabling games and songs with the puppets to expand vocabulary without relying on translation or word reading.
