Highlights the bridging character of drama-based foreign and second
language teaching for intercultural learning. Drama here is not
limited to theater-related work, but means the interplay between
body and language in general, to include, for example, sports,
dancing, singing, and storytelling. The major techniques and
curricular structures of educational drama and its application in
the foreign and second language classroom are introduced. What are
the techniques, methods, strategies, and curricular structures that
engage language learners in continuing dialogue between one's own
culture and the one yet to be discovered? What comprises the
language we speak in order to understand and be understood? Which
body is it we communicate through and to? This volume answers these
and other questions of the pedagogy of drama-based teaching across
the foreign/second language curriculum and on all levels of the
educational pyramid. There are two major issues currently discussed
in drama-based foreign and second language methodology. The first
is goal-oriented, asking whether the acquisition of accuracy or
fluency is more important, and whether a controlled (learning
through imitation) or an open (through improvisation) learning
environment is more efficient. The second issue concerns using
drama in language teaching: either its use is process-oriented,
where drama becomes an immediate medium for language learning, or
product-oriented, where it becomes primarily the reason for
language learning. The book outlines the theoretical frameworks of
both issues and introduces personal narrative, comparative
observation, and analytical reflection, illuminating opportunities
for learning at both ends of the seemingly contradictory poles of
both issues.
