Process Drama for Second Language Teaching and Learning by Patrice Baldwin

This book explains why and how drama works as an enjoyable, social, and emotionally engaging way for young people and adults to learn and use a second language within imagined worlds and develop their 21st century skills. A flexible teachers’ toolbox of drama strategies is offered and guidance on how to start using drama for learning with language students. Each strategy is presented in detail and used within the exemplar lessons. The authors refer to relevant educational, psychological and neurological theories and cite research that helps account for drama’s efficacy in motivating talk and supporting second language acquisition, whilst developing important life skills such as communication, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity and resilience.
The book is a great resource for teachers, language or otherwise, as it does not attempt to preach or overexplain process drama or language acquisition, but instead provides an excellent array of drama activities and exercises that can be used in a process drama or as independent activities that support the development of the four language skills* Drama & Theatre *
[T]he authors here present us with an extremely useful contribution both theoretically and above all practically to the field. * Drama Magazine: The National Drama Magazine of Professional Practice *
Baldwin and Galazka offer interested teachers a useful handbook for integrating process drama techniques into their student-centered, communication-oriented classrooms. The wide range of activities, texts, and tasks will find a place in just about any language-learning context. * Deryn P. Verity, Teaching Professor of Applied Linguistics, The Pennsylvania State University, USA *
This book provides concise step by step guidance on Process Drama strategies with detailed examples to support second language learning. * Jennifer Eddy, Associate Professor of World Language Education, Queens College, City University of New York, USA *
