Abstract:
This chapter considers drama in second language education, with attention to the intercultural domain. The chapter is organised into three parts. The first part discusses various frameworks for intercultural literacy and makes a case for drama as a form of intercultural education. The second part of the chapter introduces the elements of drama. The third part illustrates how the elements of drama can be interpreted from an intercultural perspective and the possible implications in a multicultural context. The core of the chapter considers the potential of embodying untranslatable words through forms of intercultural dramatic tension. The argument is presented through a semiotic and praxial approach to illustrate the concept of intercultural aesthetic engagement.
