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 *
