Embodying language in action: the artistry of process drama in second language education

This text explores embodiment in second language education, sociocultural theory and research.

It focuses on process drama, an embodied approach that engages learners' imagination, body and voice to create a felt-experience of the second language and culture.

Divided into three parts, it begins by examining the aesthetic and intercultural dimension of performative language teaching, the elements of drama and knowing-in-action.

The central part of the book examines issues related to play, emotions, classroom discourse and assessment when learning a language through process drama, in a sociocultural perspective.
