Description
Section: Languages in Drama / Theatre and Education: highlighting diversity or blending cultures?Title: Taking stock and looking ahead: 6 Years SCENARIO – a bilingual journal for drama and theatre in foreign and second language education
By the time the IDEA congress in Paris takes place the 13th issue of European award winning journal SCENARIO will have appeared. To date authors from around 20 different countries have contributed to the SCENARIO-led subject debate revolving around drama and theatre in foreign and second language education. The editors will refer to SCENARIO-contributions which have responded to the question “How can Drama and Theatre enhance and support the learning of foreign languages?” A major focus will be on research activities that have been undertaken to date to prove the effectiveness of drama/theatre-based language teaching and learning and an attempt will be made to identify areas which are still ‘under-researched’. The paper will conclude with an overview of different performative practices in foreign language teaching and learning from antique times to the present and a brief presentation of a new SCENARIO-linked initiative, the establishment of a Centre for Performative Teaching and Learning at University College Cork.
