Drama in the English ClassroomAuthor(s): Ken Byron\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781041022268, 978-1041022268\nSynopsis\nFirst published in 1986, Drama in the English Classroom demonstrates the contribution of drama in an English classroom. It suggests that drama activities, language work, and the reading of fiction can all enrich each other in ways which promote the aims of the English teacher.\n\nThe author draws on his own classroom experience and on that of the teachers whom he guided (on long-term in-service work) through the process of learning to use drama effectively. He offers many examples to illustrate the opportunities and the problems of using drama in English. Planning, key drama strategies, major pitfalls, evaluation, and the rewards of drama are examined from the viewpoint of an English teacher who senses that drama has a great deal to offer in the classroom but is at first unsure of what and how..
