- They provide an ideal vehicle for individual role-play practice, requiring both question and answer skills.
- Speech delivered with puppetry has a visual element, rendering it more memorable for the language learner.
- Conversations with puppets are easily identified as valuable performances which can be assessed and then improved upon.
- Pupils can now easily record video performances on mobile phones, cameras or computers.
