Abstract

Service Learning in a sequence of Voice and Movement classes integrated experiential learning to understand accents. Students acquired skills, observed clients in Service Learning placements, reflected on best practices, and wrote about and portrayed characteristics of local characters in original monologues. Service Learning improved verbal and nonverbal communication in community.
