This document discusses using drama techniques in foreign language classrooms to enhance learning. It lists two main reasons for including drama: 1) to develop strategies like encouraging involvement and breaking the ice, and 2) to provide drama games and activities that warm students up and build skills through exercises like storytelling, role playing, and miming. The goal of drama in the classroom is to help students learn through fun techniques and balance engagement with the material of the 21st century.
