The first edition of this work became a standard reference work in the general context of humanistic approaches to foreign language teaching and learning. This new edition gives a brief overview of further developments in relevant fields and discusses the importance of the concept of teaching as an art in light of the increasing standardization and digitalization of education. Reviews of the 1st edition I believe that the book will become a standard reference point for all those who, against the current tide of 'scientific', objectives-based, test-oriented, control-obsessed, sterile approaches to language teaching, continue to believe that language teaching is indeed an art, and a joyful art at that. Prof. Dr. Alan Maley in English Language Teaching Journal Peter Lutzker is a major educational thinker and has spent half an earthly span living towards this major book. (...) I have placed Peter's book on my shelves next to those of Rogers, Curran, Dufeu and Stevick. Mario Rinvolucri in Humanising Language Teaching
This companion interrogates the relationship between theatre and youth from a global perspective, taking in performances and theatre made by, for, and about young people. These different but interrelated forms of theatre are addressed through four critical themes that underpin the ways in which analysis of contemporary theatre in relation to young people can be framed: political utterances – exploring the varied ways theatre becomes a platform for political utterance as a process of dialogic thinking and critical imagining; critical positioning – examining youth theatre work that navigates the sensitive, dynamic, and complex terrains in which young people live and perform; pedagogic fram...
Over the last two decades drama pedagogy has helped to lay the foundations for a new teaching and learning culture, one that accentuates physicality and centres on performative experience. Signs of this ‘performative turn’ in education are especially strong in the field of foreign/second language teaching. This volume introduces scholars, language teachers, student teachers and drama practitioners to the concept of a performative foreign language didactics. Approaching the subject from a wide variety of contexts, the contributors explore the extent to which performative approaches, emphasising the role of the body as a learning medium, can achieve deep intercultural learning. Drama activities such as improvisation, hot seating and tableaux are shown to create rich opportunities for intercultural encounters that transport students beyond the parameters of conventional language, literature and culture education.

Was ist Sprache? Was will ein Sprecher, wenn er spricht, eigentlich bezwecken? Mit diesen übergeordneten Leitfragen beschäftigt sich der vorliegende interdisziplinäre Sammelband. Beiträge aus drei angrenzenden Geisteswissenschaften – der Germanistik, Philosophie und biblischen Exegese – mögen je eigene Zugänge zum Sprachverstehen wählen, doch allen ist gemeinsam der Zwang, sich des Sprachspiels der Sprache bedienen zu müssen. Diese Notwendigkeit gibt Anlass genug zur Reflexion, denn was passiert, wenn die Sprache versagt? In einem fiktiven, an ein Testament gemahnenden Brief aus dem Jahre 1902 entwirft Hugo von Hofmannsthal eine Art sprachphilosophisches Weltuntergangsszenario, das die Bühne für den nun folgenden germanistischen, philosophischen und exegetischen Schlagabtausch bereitet.
What do aesthetics have to do with foreign language teaching and how can different art forms be integrated in foreign language teaching? These were the questions addressed in 2013 at the congress on “Aesthetic Learning in the Acquisition of German as a Foreign-Language. Literature – Theatre – Fine Arts – Music– Film.” at the UNAM (Universidad Autónoma de México) in Mexico City. The proposition commonly received was that the inclusion of sensory perception in processes of language acquisition enable an open and vivid approach to language and culture that lies beyond the often-predominant focus on competence. The volume at hand gathers in a well-balanced theory-practice proportion selected congress contributions and additional articles in which the different art forms with due regard to their own aesthetics are placed in the center of attention.
