Beginning with a presentation of an approach to foreign language acquisition through the use of psychodrama techniques, this study proposes a new methodology of foreign language teaching. It also focuses on a range of practical ways for experiencing the language from within: relaxation techniques, means of acquiring the intonation and rhythm of the language and communicative exercises orientated towards participant development. The last section of the text deals with teacher development and considers how teachers relate to their students.
This study investigates the efficacy of integrating psychodrama techniques into foreign language acquisition to create a more immersive and communicative learning environment. The authors propose a methodology that shifts the focus from rote memorization to experiential learning, emphasizing the psychological and physical engagement of the student. By drawing on pedagogical research and practical classroom applications, the text argues that language acquisition is enhanced when students connect with the target language through relaxation, rhythm, and interpersonal development.
