PREFACE
‘English in Arts’, is a pocket book. A
book of this kinds takes a long time to write; by
the time it is finished and printed, I have
discovered a great deal more about the subject
matter; this is as it should be. This book covers
the exciting sector of teaching English
language students using drama, plays and
theatre techniques, including how to plan class
work, choosing appropriate texts, working with
students with theatrical techniques, modifying
dialogue and lines for different levels of
student, stage management, and how these all
work together to improve language
appreciation and learning. It also discusses
using classic plays and suggested characters,
as well as providing resources beyond the
textbook, using stories, songs, games, etc.
How to teach English language students
with drama - for professional English language
teachers. As a lecturer I have been privileged
to work with drama advisers, training college
lecturers, the directors of drama and film, the
artists and people involved in every aspect of
drama as well as education. This book is
“English in Arts” viii
intended primary as a text for a first lesson in
the art of theatre --- whether this be titled
English in arts, or another of the many
variants appearing in college and University
announcements. It is, therefore, addressed to
the students of English department that tried to
increased their ability in speaking; it
presupposes a genuine interest in plays and
film productions, though not necessarily actual
production experience. As its title suggests, it
attempts to explain and to justify the aesthetic
process by which plays are translated into
theatrical terms and are projected from a stage
to an audience. Though it supplies in full
measure as well as of rehearsal and
performance, it seeks throughout to focus on
the principles which underline theatre practice
and theatre technique.
