The Bullock Committee Report on Language Teaching emphasized the importance of studying drama seriously and professionally. Yet, despite these recommendations, many schools continued to assign drama a minor role within the curriculum. Typically, the responsibility falls to the English Department to present drama in a structured and meaningful way, but many educators remain uncertain and hesitant about how to achieve this aim.
First published in 1984, Drama in English Teaching argues that drama can become a fundamental part of English teaching, contributing to language development and textual analysis. The author suggests that it can provide stimulus for written work and the development of imagination.
The book explores ways in which drama can be presented and offers practical suggestions to assist teachers in their exploration of the many possibilities for using drama in English teaching. It is a valuable resource for educators and researchers in the field of education.
Tricia Evans, at the time of the first publication, was Lecturer in English and Drama in Education at the University of Keele, UK.
