巧用Drama教学,演绎对话教学作者:周敏慧来源:《新课程·小学》2009年第12期当第一次在教学中接触到drama这个词的时候,一连串的问题在我脑海中闪过:什么是drama?drama有什么用?如何将drama活动融入农村小学英语教学?在多伦多的学习过程中,我们有机会走进加拿大的学校,走进他们的课堂,切身感受他们的教学,这让我渐渐明白drama在英语教学中的无限魅力,让我了解了drama的很多内涵。
一、什么是drama?在牛津字典中drama 被解释为a dramatic work intended for performance by actors on a stage,当然这只是它的表面意思。
而本文中drama是指能让学生通过一系列活动和思考来掌握知识的一种过程。
它包含了许多的活动类型,如Games, Role-playing, Writing in role, Teacher-in-role, Walk-around reading, Choral speaking, The Expert game, Tableaux, Improvisation in twos, Script , Readers theatre 等等。
二、drama的作用作为一种活动设计,drama能为学生学习与运用语言创设情境,赋予语言以生命力;能让学生们在熟悉而轻松的情景下有效地掌握语言;能使学生暂时忘却自身的身份去扮演其他角色,极大地激发学生学习英语的兴趣;同时它能为教学活动提供较具弹性的活泼的教学环境等等。
那么“drama”到底是怎样来深入我们的英语教学的呢?对于学生,这些活动不仅调动了学生学习英语的积极性,培养了学生对英语学习的兴趣,而且增加了学生英语实践的机会,发展了他们的能力,展现了他们的个性。
在Drama教学中,即使原来性格内向、不善交际的学生,都能从中找到乐趣,感受到快乐、自信和成功。
另外,在贯穿drama 教学手段的课堂上学生能进一步培养他们的合作意识以及集体观念。

The Benefits of Using Drama in the ESL/EFL ClassroomChris Boudreaultsolartrees [-at-] (Lac La Biche, Canada)As an English teacher, I have often been amazed at how effective drama is to capture the attention of the students in the ESL/EFL classroom. Drama activities would sometimes have surprising and unexpected results. ESL/EFL professionals need to use this medium more because the artificial world of the classroom can be transformed into a quasi-real language situation and provides an endless amount of opportunities for student’s personal growth.We cannot only teach grammar and phonetics with drama but also it has the power to transform the actors as well as the audience. We shouldn’t underestimate this powerful teaching tool to reach our students.IntroductionWilliam Shakespeare claimed thatAll the world's a stage,And all the men and women merely players;They have their exits and their entrances,And one man in his time plays many parts,His acts being seven ages.As You Like It Act 2, scene 7, 139–143If so, then maybe we need to use drama more in the schools. Using drama in the ESL classroom is not a new concept. Drama provides an excellent platform for exploring theoretical and practical aspects of the English language (Whiteson,1996). The improvisation aspect of drama gives students opportunities for developing their communicative skills in authentic and dynamic situations. By using drama in the English classroom, we can use English with our students in intriguing and useful ways. The language can be used in context and makes it come tolife. Drama has the potential of making the learning experience fun for the students and even memorable because it is interactive and visual.There are many studies about using drama to learn English. Wan Yee Sam talks about the communicative approach, drama techniques, value of drama in education, advantages and disadvantages (Sam,1990). Alan Maley and Alan Duff are classic sources for the benefits of using drama techniques; how it helps to learn new vocabulary, builds confidence, motivates the students and helps shift the focus from the teacher to the students (Maley,1982). Drama is a special communication situation which makes considerable demands on the flexibility and skills of the teacher (Kao,1998). We have Morrow (1981) who gives some guiding principles behind the use of the communicative activities. Susan Holden (1981) adds some definitions as to what drama is and how it provides opportunities for a person to express themselves. The personal nature of improvisation provides many outlets for self-expression. We even hear that children need to play as an important developmental process.Benefits of Using DramaThis is all very relevant information concerning using drama in the ESL/EFL classroom. We can sum up the benefits of drama in language teaching as follows:•t he acquisition of meaningful, fluent interaction in the target language;•t he assimilation of a whole range of pronunciation and prosodic features in a fully contextualized and interactional manner;•t he fully contextualized acquisition of new vocabulary and structure;•a n improved sense of confidence in the student in his or her ability to learn the target language.” (Wessels, p.10).Drama puts the teacher in the role of supporter in the learning process and the students can take more responsibility for their ownlearning. Ideally, the teacher will take a less dominant role in the language class and let the students explore the language activities. In the student centered classroom, every student is a potential teacher for the group.Drama for second language learners can provide an opportunity to develop the imagination of the students. The students can go beyond the here and now and even 'walk in the shoes' of another. It provides an opportunity for independent thinking (McCaslin 1996). Students are encouraged to express their own ideas and contribute to the whole. Creative drama will offer exercises in critical thinking and the chance for the students to be creative. A good example of this is role-plays in small groups The ESL/EFL group will have many situations where they can develop their own ideas as well as skills of cooperation when interacting with classmates. The group work builds social awareness and understanding as we walk in the 'shoes of another'. Drama gives an excellent method for studying human nature and working in harmony. The play acting provides the opportunity for a healthy release of emotion in a safe setting which can work to relieve the tension of learning in a second language.Drama Brings Literature to LifeMost teachers see the value of drama in offering training in speech. What is not obvious is how even abstract learning is easier when acted or demonstrated. Drama can also be used to bring literature to life for the students. It is more dynamic than simple text and helps the visual learners as well as recycles new vocabulary. While drama does have a characteristic of recreation, the fun aspect should not be under-estimated. When the students are enjoying an activity, they are learning and letting their guard down. The shyness and fear of using English very often blocks learning. When the students are submerged in an active fun activity, they are more open to new concepts and learning will occur. When the students are having fun, they let their second language guard down and become less inhibited. The student will tend to relax and stop blocking out the new language. They will forget how hard it is and start absorbing the ideas presented. Changing the students’ perception of the language learning from a negative to a positive is a huge plus for the learning process.A good example of the attributes of drama being used outside the classroom is the game of theatre sports. Starting out in Loose Moose Theatre Company in Calgary, Canada (Johnstone,1999). This drama activity has grown to become an international endeavour, taken up by practitioners the world over, which involves the audience as much as the actors in creating a very spontaneous event. Theatre sports demonstrates how powerful a motivating force role-playing can become for the actors as well as the audience. There are presently teams in many different countries using different languages who put on an unrehearsed game for countless spectators and the appeal is only growing.Drama as a Powerful Teaching ToolIn the ESL/EFL classroom, role-playing is a powerful tool. It teaches cooperation, empathy for others, decision making skills and encourages an exchange of knowledge between the students. These aspects alone make role-playing beneficial because the students are learning from each other. Yet, there are many other positive aspects to the role-playing. Apart from the obvious development of communication skills, it encourages leadership, team work, compromise, authentic listening skills and practice with real life savior-faire. However, it does not stop there. It teaches cooperation, empathy, develops decision making skills, promotes the exchange of knowledge, builds confidence andself-esteem, refines presentation skills, encourages self-acceptance and acceptance of others, features of empowerment, pride in work, responsibility, problem solving, management and organizational skills, begets creativity and imagination.A good drama teacher can use the practice with role-playing to contribute to the self-esteem of the students, build their confidence in using the target language (English) as well as develop many of the skills mentioned above which will carry over to real life. It is certain that self-acceptance can be encouraged in subtle ways and acceptance of others.Drama has the potential to empower the students, give them many opportunities to have pride in their work, it teaches them responsibility, problem solving, management and directing proficiencies. The many activities of team work force students to develop organizational skills and tothink on their feet. These are tools that can be used in all aspects of their lives. These skills will be useful in the future job market when the students need to work with others or even in the future job interview when the potential employer asks an unexpected question and you need to think quickly.Drama Reveals Aspects of the Human ConditionWhen you think about it, drama is a method to reveal aspects of the human condition, life is nothing more than a grand series of improvisations (Price 1980). Through the games, the students begin to realize the importance of shared space, time, attention, information and ideas. The games spark spontaneity and minimize self-consciousness which often inhibits learning. The games are also good for developing concentration and trust in the classroom. While the students are having all this fun, they are developing skills of coordination, imitation while focusing on the task at hand. The improvisation enables the students to flex their emotional, mental as well as physical muscles in a safe and controlled setting.A good example of this was a role-play one group performed where they displayed their displeasure with the school principal. There was no harm done and all the students were feeling the same.Final Reflections on Improvisations and Benefits of Drama'Improvisation, then, is an organic experience where skills are constantly being refined. In particular, students develop an increasing facility to meet changing or unknown stimuli with immediate responses. Ideally, improvisation leads to a blending; the students create the personality traits as he/she simultaneously identifies with the character as it evolves. Obviously, the teacher-director should never lose sight of the metamorphic and highly personal nature of improvisation; therefore, there must never be the question of success or failure.' (Price, p. 6)Drama in its purest form gives the student several avenues to self-awareness. It is one of the closest literary forms to life itself. It is a dynamic process that reveals and examines aspects of the complicated lives we lead (Price 1980). All of this leads me to believe that there are many subtle benefits to drama in the ESL classroom.The benefits of drama to develop the imagination should not be undervalued. In our rote school routines of memorization and compulsory subject matter, we sometimes do not spend enough time on encouraging our students to use their imagination. It is the spark that makes the ordinary into something incredible. Imagination is the magic force that is beyond facts, figures and techniques which can inspire new ideas. It is with imagination that the ordinary is transformed into something significant. There is a need to cultivate this trait in our students. Imagination is closely linked to dreams and inspire us to get up every morning. Drama has the capability to keep this alive and/or rekindle what our routine daily lives are burying in ourselves. We need imagination to make a better world. In order to accomplish anything worthwhile, we first need to imagine and dream it. We should not neglect this facet of human sentience. It may seem like a trivial point, but dreams without imagination would be like life without colour. We would all be worse off without it.The Power of Transformation with DramaWe all present ourselves in everyday life as we want to be perceived. Erving Goffman (1958) talks in detail about how we present ourselves in everyday life from a sociological perspective. We are all acting out theatrical performances to present ourselves in regard to how we wish to be seen. When we are in the presence of others, we are to some extent on stage. We will act and communicate in our own interests to influence the people around us to act voluntarily in accordance with the individuals plans (Goffman,1959). We are in essence, recreating ourselves all the time as our social world evolves. In everyday life, first impressions are so very important. So, how we are perceived often depends on a blink of a moment which may define us for a long period if not forever. Our communication skills are so important in how we are seen by others. Our words and body language project subtle messages to those around us and others respond in accordance to what they perceive as "us". In life, we are all playing many roles, therefore, we are wearing many masks.In a sense, and in so far as this mask represents the conception we have formed of ourselves- the role we are striving to live up to- this mask is our truer self, the self we would like to be (Goffman, p.30).We know that an individual will attempt to induce the audience to see them in a certain way. The more convincing we are in our own roles only help to create the persona that we wish for. The better we are at communicating our ideas helps ourselves to become who we want to be.Therefore, it makes sense that dramatic skills can help us become the person we want to be. In this way, drama has a wider reach than simply making us more fluent in a second language. It has the potential of making our lives better as we will be better understood and may help us become the people we want to be. Drama is all about how we present ourselves. If the student can communicate better, the more likely others will see him/her as he/she wishes to be seen. Therefore, the skills of drama can help the student become the person that he/she wants to be.References•Goffman, Erving (1959), The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life.

Role-playing: By assigning different roles to students, I encouraged them to actively participate in the drama activities. This allowed them to practice their speaking and listening skills in a realistic context.2. Script analysis: Before performing a drama, I guided students to analyze the script, understand the characters, and grasp the story background. This helped them develop critical thinking and comprehension skills.3. Scene creation: To stimulate creativity, I encouraged students to create their own scenes based on the story or characters. This not only improved their language abilities but also fostered their imagination.4. Group discussion: After each drama performance, I organized a group discussion to share opinions, identify strengths, and suggest improvements. This encouraged students to think critically and express their ideas.II. Challenges1. Cultural barriers: English drama often involves cultural elementsthat may be unfamiliar to students from different cultural backgrounds. As a teacher, I needed to explain and contextualize these elements to ensure students could fully understand and appreciate the drama.2. Language proficiency: Some students may have limited English proficiency, making it difficult for them to perform well in dramaactivities. In this case, I adjusted the difficulty level of the drama scripts and provided additional language support.3. Time management: English drama teaching requires a considerable amount of time for preparation, rehearsal, and performance. Balancing this with other subjects can be challenging.III. Achievements1. Improved language skills: Through drama, students had the chance to practice speaking, listening, reading, and writing in a real-life context. This significantly improved their overall language proficiency.2. Enhanced communication abilities: Drama encouraged students to express themselves, listen to others, and collaborate with their peers. This helped them develop strong communication skills.3. Increased confidence: Performing in front of an audience can be intimidating for some students. However, with proper guidance and encouragement, many students gained confidence and improved their self-esteem.4.

This summary reflects on a semester-long drama teaching practice, highlighting the methodologies employed, student outcomes, and personal reflections.MethodologyThe drama teaching practice was conducted in a secondary school English classroom, with a focus on students aged 14-16. The following methodologies were employed:1. Script Analysis: Students were provided with a variety of scripts, ranging from classic literature to contemporary plays. They were encouraged to analyze the characters, themes, and language used in the scripts.2. Role Play: Students were assigned roles from the scripts and were expected to perform them in front of the class. This activity aimed to improve their pronunciation, intonation, and fluency.3. Improvisation: Students were engaged in improvisation exercises to enhance their creativity and spontaneity. These activities often required them to think on their feet and respond to unexpected situations.4. Group Work: Collaborative projects were introduced to foster teamwork and communication skills. Students worked in groups to create their own short plays, which were then presented to the class.5. Feedback and Reflection: Regular feedback sessions were conducted to provide students with constructive criticism and encourage self-reflection. This was crucial in helping them identify areas for improvement.Student OutcomesThe drama teaching practice yielded several positive outcomes among the students:1. Improved Language Skills: Students demonstrated significant improvements in their speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. The use of scripts and role play activities allowed them to practice and refine their language use in a more interactive and engaging manner.2. Increased Confidence: Many students reported feeling more confident in their English speaking abilities. The supportive classroom environment and the encouragement to participate in group activities played a vital role in building their self-esteem.3. Enhanced Creativity: The improvisation exercises and group projects allowed students to express their creativity and think outside the box. This not only enriched their learning experience but also encouraged them to explore different perspectives.4. Better Understanding of Cultural Contexts: By analyzing scripts from various cultural backgrounds, students gained a deeper understanding of different societies and their values. This fostered cultural empathy and sensitivity.ReflectionsAs an English teacher, the drama teaching practice was a rewarding experience. Here are some reflections on the process:1. Flexibility: One of the challenges was managing the diverse needs of the students. However, this also allowed me to be more flexible and adapt my teaching methods accordingly.2. Engagement: The inclusion of drama in the English curriculum significantly increased student engagement. The interactive nature of drama activities made learning more enjoyable and memorable.3. Feedback: Providing regular feedback was crucial in helping students improve. It also allowed me to gain insights into their strengths and weaknesses, which I could then address in my teaching.4. Continuous Learning: As a teacher, I learned a lot from this experience. It helped me to refine my drama skills and develop new teaching strategies.ConclusionIn conclusion, the drama teaching practice in English language teaching has been a highly effective approach. It not only improved the students' language skills but also fostered their creativity, confidence, and cultural understanding. As educators, we should continue to explore and integrate drama into our teaching practices to create a more engaging and enriching learning experience for our students.第3篇Introduction:As a language teacher, drama teaching has always been one of my favorite teaching methods.

选文、翻译:武太白原文:4 Drama and roleplayDrama is an excellent way to get students using the language. It essentially involvesusing the imagination to make oneself into another character, or the classroom into adifferent place. It can be a starting point for exciting listening and speaking work and it can beutilized as a tool to provide practice in specific grammatical, lexical, functional or phonologicalareas.By bringing the outside world into the classroom in this way we can provide a lot ofuseful practice (in cafes, shops, banks, businesses, streets, parties, etc) that would otherwisebe impossible. There can also be a freeing from the constraints of culture and expectedbehaviour; this can be personally and linguistically very liberating. Curiously, it is sometimesthe shyest students who are most able to seize the potential.Success or failure of drama activities depends crucially on the perceived attitude of theteacher and of the other students; without a certain degree of trust, acceptance and respectthe chances for useful work are greatly diminished.Six types of drama activity are commonly found in English language teaching classrooms:·Roleplay. Students act out small scenes using their own ideas or from ideas andinformation on role-cards.·Simulation. This is really a large-scale roleplay. Role-cards are normally used and there isoften other background information as well. The intention is to create a much morecomplete, complex ‘world’,say of a business company, television studio, government body,etc.·Drama games. Short games that usually involve movement and imagination.·Guided improvisation. A scene is improvised. One by one the students join in incharacter, until the whole scene and possibly story take on a life of their own.·Acting play scripts. Short written sketches or scenes are acted by the students.·Prepared improvised drama. Students in small groups invent and rehearse a short sceneor story that they then perform for the others.Next we look at roleplay, drama games and guided improvisation.Task 1: Here are three role-cards. A fourth card is missing. Write it.CommentaryPossiblyThis roleplay provides the possibility of practising ‘shop’ vocabulary in a useful andinteresting way. There is a lot of scope for use of functional language – apologizing, refusing,disagreeing, denying, etc. The potential for dramatic conflict is built into the cards, though theparticipants could, if they wished, avoid this completely.Running a roleplay: some guidelines·Make sure the students understand the idea of 'roleplay’. Do they know what’s going tohappen? Do they know what is required of them? Are they comfortable to do that or not?·Make sure the context or situation is clear.·Do they understand the information on their own card? Allow reading time, dictionarytime, thinking time (during which you can go round and help if necessary).·Give them time to prepare their ideas before the speaking starts; maybe encouragenote-making.·... but when the activity starts, encourage them to improvise rather than rely on preparedspeeches and notes. The preparation work they have done will inform their roleplay, but couldsimply get in the way if they over-rely on it. (It may help to take away the cards when theroleplay starts.)Drama gamesHere are four short examples:WalkingA good way to 'become’ another character is to try to walk in the way they would. This also makes an interesting short drama game in its own right. The students stand up and walk around the room, as a character of their choice. After a while, various people can meet each other and have short conversations (eg Marilyn Monroe meeting Shakespeare). Variation 1: the teacher calls out names of characters from a story, or the news or history, etc and the students all try to act in character. Variation 2: the students must walk in the manner of the word: for example, happy, young, tired, cold, tense.Making a pictureThe teacher calls out a subject; the students must all together quickly form a frozen'tableau' of that scene. For example: the teacher calls out airport, the students take different positions. Some are check-in clerks, some become desks, some become planes taking off, some become tourists, until the whole room 'becomes’ an airport.An amusing variation is to divide the class in two. One half has two minutes to make their scene, while the other waits outside the room or in another room. When they return to view the tableau they must guess what the scene is. They are only allowed to ask questions that would have yes / no answers (eg Are you a table? No. Are you holding something? Yes.).Puppets and dubbingPuppets: Two people (A and B) sit. Two other people (C and D) sit directly behind them. A and B now hide their arms behind their backs while C and D put their arms out in front, so that they look as if they are A and B's real arms. A and B attempt to carry on a conversation while C and D move their arms and hands appropriately. Can be hilarious!Dubbing: This time C and D sit slightly to one side of A and B. They provide the words that A and B speak by whispering into their ears. A and B are not allowed to say anything except what they are told to say. Interesting situationsStudents call out any interesting or ‘difficult’ situation involving two people and two other students act it out. For example, a well-meaning hostess serving meat to a polite vegetarian. This technique could, in appropriate circumstances, be used to ‘real-play’ (ie act out and explore some of the students’ own real-life problem situations).Guided improvisationThe teacher selects a scene - say, a frozen winter landscape with a frozen lake. The idea is to turn the classroom into the scene, and to then let the story unfold in any way it can, by the group improvising together.The teacher might start by describing the scene and getting students to become people in the landscape, slowly building up a living, moving scene, or he might jump in the deep end by adopting a character himself and encouraging others to join him in the improvisation as and when they are ready.The skill of running this kind of complex improvisation is to find a balance between allowing a free-flowing, growing, alive improvisation and the necessity of keeping some control over it to ensure that it keeps momentum and avoids silliness or trite solutions. Most of the teacher’s interventions to achieve this can be done subtly by saying something, in character, to some of the participants, rather than by stepping in and making grand announcements to everyone.Some ideas for guided improvisations:·the perfect school·a museum (or waxworks) at night·the beach·inside a plane·kitchen implements come alive·an amazing party·the secret life of the characters in your coursebookTask 2Devise either role-cards or a basic scenario for a guided improvisation to enable students to practise the language of asking for and giving instructions (eg finding out how to use a new machine, play a new game, etc).译文:4 戏剧表演和角色扮演戏剧是让学生使用语言的好方法。
