| Title | Call for Presentations: Drama Pedagogy in Foreign Language Instruction |
| Body | CFP: Inhabiting Worlds - Drama Pedagogy in Foreign Language Instruction 40th Anniversary Convention, Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA) February 26 - March 1, 2009 Hyatt Regency - Boston, Massachusetts Drama pedagogy uses techniques from theater practice to experience foreign languages cognitively, socially, kinesthetically, and empathically. Students engage with different worlds, move around in them and make their own impact on them. In drama pedagogy, the ordinary classroom becomes the platform for students to develop their own voices, invent and shape their own personae, take clear stances, and adopt their own attitudes in and towards given situations, always in interaction with others. Drama pedagogy techniques are used for building interactive exchanges that leave behind the stilted dialogues and role plays of textbooks; for experiencing literature in ways that go beyond the mere reading and subsequent discussion of texts; and for raising grammar awareness by realizing grammatical structures in concrete use instead of in decontextualized exercises. This panel seeks to investigate innovative scholarship and/or teaching at the intersection of drama/theater and language teaching and learning. Proposals of no more than 250 words should be sent electronically by 15 September 2008 to Susanne Even, Germanic Studies, Indiana University, evens@indiana.edu . Deadline: September 15, 2008 Please include with your abstract: Name and Affiliation Email address Postal address Telephone number A/V requirements (if any; $10 handling fee) The complete Call for Papers for the 2009 Convention will be posted in June: www.nemla.org . Interested participants may submit abstracts to more than one NeMLA panel; however panelists can only present one paper.
