"Spielraum: Teaching German Through Theater | Language & Colloquials

Spielraum: Teaching German through Theater is a sourcebook and guide for teaching German language and culture as well as social cross-cultural and multi-ethnic tensions through dramatic texts. This book presents a range of theoretical and practical resources for the growing number of teachers who wish to integrate drama and theater into their foreign-language curriculum. As such it may be adopted as a flexible tool for teachers seeking ways to reinvigorate their language classrooms through drama pedagogy; to connect language study to the study of literature and culture; to inspire curricular rejuvenation; or to embark on full-scale theater productions. Focusing on specific dramatic works from the rich German-speaking tradition each chapter introduces unique approaches to a play theme and genre while also taking into account practical issues of performance.|Spielraum: Teaching German through Theater | Language & Colloquials
