The art of foreign language teaching

Mehr zum Buch

This study explores and develops the idea that foreign Language teaching can be an art. This encompasses both considering the meaning of artistry in Language teaching as well as the possibilities which artistic processes offer pupils in Language learning. The first part focuses on the in-service education of Language teachers in theatre and improvisation workshops; the second part examines pupils rehearsing and performing a full length play in a foreign Language. Thus, this work views the fields of Language teacher education and foreign Language learning within a common conceptual framework.
