Abstract
Using puppets in language learning is unusual in secondary or higher education but has a great potential to allow students to develop their language skills and creativity. Shy students can learn to engage in open discussions - a requirement for the oral exam – by speaking through the puppet. I wanted to investigate whether young adult learners are willing to engage in such rather unusual but promising method and record their experiences. This article gives an overview of the approach and summarises the student feedback received.
