<p> For years, Ann Burke and Julie O'Sullivan have taught second language classes. They have found that the use of drama allows students to experiment unselfconsciously with language and vocabulary, pronunciation, intonation, and voice in ways they have not experienced before - especially not in a language classroom. Ann and Julie also know how difficult it is to find materials to suit what they teach. So they wrote the book on it - a book that gives teachers, no matter what their background, all the tools they need to incorporate drama into their language classes. </p> <p> Here you will find clear instructions on how to: </p>
<ul>
<li>conduct a drama class</li> <li>use acting and role-play exercises</li> <li>select appropriate scripts for language learners</li> <li>guide students to write their own scripts</li> <li>dramatize scripts step by step for performance.</li> </ul> Watch your students increase their confidence, motivation, fluency, and understanding of social conventions when communicating in a second language. Involve them fully with something that's both fruitful and fun. Get them involved in drama.

On a balmy evening in late summer, a thickly wooded area near the shore of Lake Geneva is filling up with men. By the time the moon is high, the woods rustle with the quiet movements of some nine hundred, all armed. Pastor Arnaud addresses the blended group of Waldensian and Huguenot volunteers. If anyone is afraid of the rack and the gallows, he tells them, they should turn back. If they wish to go on, they should sweat to fight faithfully to the death... Arnaud and the nine-hundred kneel and pray at the lake's edge. A low voice and the sound of water lapping fill the night. There are muted amen's, a shuffle, footsteps, and the swish of fifteen little boats pushing off from land. In To the Last Drop of Our Blood, Ann Burke sketches excerpts from the story of the Waldenses, a religious minority who for generations lived under the looming shadow of the religion in power. This re-telling may very well bring to mind a number of questions. - Where freedom of faith is concerned, does it matter how right the majority is? - How important is a minority? - Is it better, as someone has said, for one man to die than for a whole nation to perish? The answers we give will largely determine our future.
