  abstract =     "In this paper, we describe an approach to the teaching
                 of introductory programming to students with no
                 previous experience of programming. The approach is
                 based on the key idea of making students active
                 participants in classes rather than passive recipients
                 as might be the case when they are exposed to more
                 traditional lecture-based teaching. In these classes
                 the students are called upon to adopt the r{\^o}les of
                 various components in a program and to ``act out''
                 relevant processes and procedures. We consider why such
                 an approach might be effective and why it might be
                 expected to be particularly effective in the area of
                 introductory programming. The techniques described were
                 developed and tested during the 1997/98 academic
                 session in the School of Computer Studies at the
                 University of Leeds. At the end of the presentation a
                 brief evaluation was carried out. In conclusion we
                 consider the effectiveness of the approach after a
                 semester's experience and describe planned future
                 developments.",
