This book explores embodiment in second language education,
sociocultural theory and research. It focuses on process drama, an
embodied approach that engages learners' imagination, body and
voice to create a felt-experience of the second language and
culture. Divided into three parts, it begins by examining the
aesthetic and intercultural dimension of performative language
teaching, the elements of drama and knowing-in-action. The central
part of the book examines issues related to play, emotions,
classroom discourse and assessment when learning a language through
process drama, in a sociocultural perspective. The third part is an
analysis of the author's qualitative research, which informs a
subtle discussion on reflective practitioner methodology, learner
engagement and teacher artistry. Each chapter includes a drama
workshop, illustrating in practice what embodying language in
action can look like when working with asylum seekers, adult
learners with intellectual disabilities, pre-service teachers,
international students and children involved in a Content and
Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) programme. A unique combination
of theory, research and reflective practice, this book provides
valuable insights for teacher/artists, teacher educators and
researchers in the fields of performative and sociocultural
language learning.
