Drama is a valuable tool for teaching English as a second language. It engages students actively in the learning process and fosters their language skills. Through drama activities, students improve their confidence, creativity, and motivation to learn. Drama allows students to use English in meaningful contexts. Some key drama techniques used in ESL teaching include role plays, simulations, improvisation, and dramatizing stories and literature. While drama has benefits, teachers must implement techniques carefully to control the class and ensure activities enhance learning.
Arthur Miller wrote Death of a Salesman in 1949. It tells the story of Willy Loman, a traveling salesman struggling to live up to unrealistic dreams of success in America.

ONE OF THE GREATEST THINGS DRAMA CAN DO, AT ITS BEST, IS TO REDEFINE THE WORDS WE USE EVERY DAY SUCH AS LOVE, HOME, FAMILY, LOYALTY AND ENVY. TRAGEDY NEED NOT BE A DOWNER.
Drama is a story presented through dialogue and performed on stage for a live audience. The earliest plays were written in ancient Greece around the 5th century BC to honor Dionysus, the god of wine. There are many genres of drama including tragedy, comedy, farce, musical theater, tragicomedy, opera, pantomime, and creative drama. A play tells a story through a sequence of events that develop the conflict between characters. It requires literary elements like script, plot, and dialogue, as well as technical elements like scenery, costumes, and props, and performance elements like acting and nonverbal expression.
Drama originated in ancient Greece between 600-200 BC as a form of religious worship to Dionysus. It began as religious chants and songs performed by a chorus and gradually incorporated additional actors and dialogue. During the Elizabethan era in 16th-17th century England, playwrights like Shakespeare and Marlowe flourished. Shakespeare initially wrote in conventional styles but later adapted them to be more natural. Drama can be categorized as opera, pantomime, or creative drama and takes forms like comedy, tragedy, farce, and musical drama. It uses elements like theme, plot, effects, and music.

Chapter 8 THEATER We sit in the darkened theater with many str.docxspoonerneddy
Chapter 8 THEATER
We sit in the darkened theater with many strangers. We sense an air of anticipation, an awareness of excitement. People cough, rustle about, then suddenly become still. Slowly the lights on the stage begin to come up, and we see actors moving before us, apparently unaware of our presence. They are in rooms or spaces similar to those that we may be in ourselves at the end of the evening. Eventually they begin speaking to one another much the way we might ourselves, sometimes saying things so intimate that we are uneasy. They move about the stage, conducting their lives in total disregard for us, only hinting occasionally that we might be there in the same space with them. At first we feel that despite our being in the same building with the actors, we are in a different world. Then slowly the distance between us and the actors begins to diminish until, in a good play, our participation erases the distance. We thrill with the actors, but we also suffer with them. We witness the illusion of an action that has an emotional impact for us and changes the way we think about our own lives. Great plays such as Hamlet, Othello, The Misanthrope, Death of a Salesman, A Streetcar Named Desire, and Long Day’s Journey into Night can have the power to transform our awareness of ourselves and our circumstances. It is a mystery common to much art: that the illusion of reality can affect the reality of our own lives.
Aristotle and the Elements of Drama
Drama is a collaborative art that represents events and situations, either realistic and/or symbolic, that we witness happening through the actions of actors in a play on a stage in front of a live audience. According to the greatest dramatic critic, Aristotle (384–322 BCE), the elements of drama are as follows:
1. Plot: a series of events leading to disaster for the main characters who undergo reversals in fortune and understanding but usually ending with a form of enlightenment—sometimes of the characters, sometimes of the audience, and sometimes of both
2. Character: the presentation of a person or persons whose actions and the reason for them are more or less revealed to the audience
3. Diction: the language of the drama, which should be appropriate to the action
4. Thought: the ideas that underlie the plot of the drama, expressed in terms of dialogue and soliloquy
5. Spectacle: the places of the action, the costumes, set designs, and visual elements in the play
6. Music: in Greek drama, the dialogue was sometimes sung or chanted by a chorus, and often this music was of considerable emotional importance; in modern drama, music is rarely used in serious plays, but it is of first importance in the musical theater
Aristotle conceived his theories in the great age of Greek tragedy, and therefore much of what he has to say applies to tragedies by such dramatists as Aeschylus (ca. 525–456 BCE), especially his trilogy, Agamemnon, The Libation Bearers, and The Eumenides. Sophocles (ca. 496–406 B.
Drama began in ancient Greece in the 6th century BC and was used to tell stories through characters interacting via dialogue. The first actor was Thespis, which is where the term "thespian" comes from. Greek dramas used masks so facial expressions could be seen from a distance in large amphitheaters. Tragedy and comedy were the two main forms, with tragedy involving a hero's death and comedy ending happily. Drama later developed in both Western and Eastern cultures through various genres like opera, kabuki theater, and shadow puppet plays.
Drama is a word of Greek origin meaning "action" and referring to a performance on the stage in which actors act out the events and characters of a story. A dramatic work is usually called a play, but if you want to specify what type of drama it is, you can call it a comedy, a. tragedy, a farce or tragicomedy or other names. As wel1 as a play, drama usually involves
o a playwright or dramatist, that is, the author of the play;
o a stage, that is, the area in a playhouse or theatre where the play is performed;
o an audience, that is, the people who go to the theatre to watch the performance.
This document provides a brief history of drama from its origins in ancient Greece to modern times. It notes that drama began in Greece around 500 BC with tragedies and comedies performed to worship gods. Thespis is considered the first actor. Drama declined under the Roman Empire but was revived by the Christian church in the form of miracle, morality, and mystery plays during the Middle Ages. Drama then flourished during the Renaissance, especially through the works of Shakespeare in Elizabethan England. Modern drama is characterized by realism and includes works from Shaw, Wilde, Yeats, and Synge. Key dramatic terms are also defined.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. A Brief History of Drama
Three theories about the origin of drama.
First theory:
early humans’ perceptions of the forces that
appear to influence or control their lives
attributed natural events that affected them
to supernatural or magical forces
began to perform rituals to see if actions
would affect natural events
4. Second theory:
through the activity of storytelling
A narrator’s story of events being played by
different persons
Third theory:
imitations of animals or out of narrative
forms of dances and songs
5. THINK
Which of the theory above do you feel
best explains the early development of
drama? Give your reason.
6. Concerning the Drama, the
Theatre, and the Play
What is drama?
Theatre?
Play ?
Interchangeable meaning
7. Drama:
Written form
Private rather than social experience
Greek word “dran”- “to do”
Aristotle: an imitation of an action as
opposed to represent an action in prose
Only partially concluded
8. Theatre:
The performance of drama
Greek word “theatron”- “to watch” or “a place
for seeing”
Theatre not only a setting for “seeing”. Also

on audience, Ex: representational or
unrepresentational
9. Play:

10. In general:
Drama is a form of literary composition for
performance in the theatre, where the actors
take the role of characters, perform the
action indicated, and utter the written
dialogue.
Drama + theatre= play
12. THINK
There are many dramas that have been
performed on stage. Have you read and
watch the same drama/play? Are there
differences in your experiences between
reading a drama and watching it
performed? What are the differences?
13. TYPES OF DRAMA
Tragedy
Social Comedy
Musical Melo-drama
DRAMA
Docu-mentary Farce

not, death.
normally involves the fall from grace of the
main protagonist who, in classical
tragedy, must be of noble birth.

weak we are as mere mortals in the face of
a greater power.
Oedipus Rex by Sophocles is acclaimed by
Aristotle as the perfect tragedy.
15. A comedy
is the opposite of tragedy.
A tragedy begins with the elevation of the
protagonist to a higher social or moral status
and ends with his or her downfall.
A comedy begins with confusions and
conflicts and ends happily with the resolution

comedy does not attempt to evoke a deep
sense of pity and terror but more to elicit
laughter than shock.
16. A melodrama

misunderstandings.
Identical twins, lovers in closets, full stage

misheard instructions are the often used
methods to produce outrageous situations and
uproarious response from audience.
The Bear by Anton Chekov is an example of
farce.
18. Tragicomedy
