The theoretical architecture of a drama-based foreign-language class: A structure founded on communication, and supported by action, interaction, real experience and alternative methods
(Peter Lang, 1993-01) Schewe, Manfred; Schewe, Manfred; Shaw, Peter
Comparison of the contributions in this volume will show the keyword Drama linking a lively profusion of teaching and learning activities, which in turn advert to a rich variety of theoretical reference points. This presentation of multifarious approaches is intended as a first step along the road to the establishment of drama as a method of language teaching and learning in its own right. In accordance with the general title of the volume, the following is an attempt to introduce the theoretical bases of such a method, i.e.: to define what might most usefully be understood here by a method; to consider in what specific areas future research might seek to provide theoretical accounts of a drama-based method of language teaching and learning; and above all, with reference to a number of relevant theories of (in particular foreign-language) teaching, to examine how far an overall theoretical framework may be constructed for drama as a complex and flexible resource in the foreign-language class.
Zukunftsgemäße Deutschlehrerausbildung – einige Assoziationen, Thesen, offene Fragen und Reformvorschläge
(2001) Schewe, Manfred
Im ersten Teil wird kurz die Problematik unterschiedlicher Formen von Lehrerausbildung innerhalb Europas skizziert. Dabei wird auf gesellschaftliche Veränderungen hingewiesen, die sich in vielen fortgeschrittenen Industriegesellschaften vollziehen und Konsequenzen für die Lehrerausbildung bedeuten. Im Zentrum des zweiten Teils folgen deutschlandbezogene Überlegungen zu einer zukunftsgemäßen Lehrerausbildung, wobei insbesondere die Empfehlungen der von der deutschen Kultusministerkonferenz in Auftrag gegebenen Studie zu "Perspektiven der Lehrerbildung in Deutschland" zum Bezugspunkt werden. Im dritten Teil wird am Beispiel der Republik Irland ein landesspezifisches Ausbildungsmodell kritisch dargestellt; er endet mit allgemeinen Zukunftsprognosen für die irische Bildungswirklichkeit. Diese leiten zum vierten Teil über, in dem ein Plädoyer für ein Ausbildungsmodell erfolgt, in dem Fremdsprachenlehrer nicht nur wissenschaftlich, sondern auch künstlerisch ausgebildet werden. Zum Schluss wird die Notwendigkeit betont, über die Ursachen weiter nachzudenken, die der sich innerhalb Europas verschärfenden Krise des Lehrberufs zugrunde liegen, wie auch über geeignete Maßnahmen, mit denen auf diese Tendenzen reagiert werden könnte.
Behind the paravent: a study of Konrad Bayer's dramatic texts
(University College Cork, 2001) Scott, Trina; Beug, Joachim
This thesis is a study of Konrad Bayer's dramatic texts. It has evolved out of various attempts to read those texts, some filed and some more successful. It does not claim to be authoritative or complete, since the nature of Bayer's texts, as will become clear in the course of the ensuing chapters, means that they resist such an interpretation. To accept this was an important prerequisite for the writing of this thesis, but a difficult one to fulfill because for the Bayer commentator it constitutes a certain acceptance of defeat even before one begins. Chapter 1 will begin by providing some introductory information about Konrad Bayer, including details of his life and his membership of the Wiener Gruppe, a formative phase in his development as a writer. It will also consider the historical and cultural climate of 1950s Austria that provided the backdrop for Bayer's literary work. The phenomenon of the Wiener Gruppe will then be examined against the background of preceding experimental movements, for the purpose of situating Bayer's work historically and artistically. The aim of this historical and artistic survey is to prepare for the confrontation with Bayer's texts that makes up the other chapters of the thesis. Chapter 2 will constitute a close textual study of one of Bayer's dramatic texts using criteria from the field of text linguistics. Such a study will offer an entry point into Bayer's texts and will supply material which will form the basis for the interpretative investigations of the chapters that follow it. Chapter 3 will consider the influence of language and the individual. In chapter 4 the figure of the Lion of Belfort, a recurring figure in Bayer's dramatic texts, is discussed. The final chapter of this thesis will examine the recurring motifs of violence and cannibalism and will consider them in terms of the findings of preceding chapters.
Drama Grammatik: Dramapädagogische Ansätze für den Grammatikunterricht Deutsch als Fremdsprache
(University College Cork, 2002) Even, Susanne; Schewe, Manfred
This dissertation introduces and evaluates dramagrammar, a new concept for the teaching and learning of foreign language grammar. Grammar, traditionally taught in a predominantly cognitive, abstract mode, often fails to capture the minds of foreign language learners, who are then unable to integrate this grammatical knowledge into their use of the foreign language in a meaningful way. The consequences of this approach are manifested at university level in German departments in England and Ireland, where the outcomes are unconvincing at best, abysmal at worst. Language teaching research suggests that interaction plays an important role in foreign language acquisition. Recent studies also stress the significance of grammatical knowledge in the learning process. Dramagrammar combines both interactive negotiation of meaning and explicit grammar instruction in a holistic approach, taking up the concept of drama in foreign language education and applying it to the teaching and learning of grammar. Techniques from dramatic art forms allow grammar to be experienced not only cognitively but also in social, emotional, and bodily-kinaesthetic ways. Dramagrammar lessons confront the learner with fictitious situations in which grammar is experienced 'hands-on'. Learners have to use grammatical structures in a variety of contexts, reflect upon their use, and then enlarge and enrich the dramatic situations with their newly acquired or more finely nuanced knowledge. The initial hypothesis of this dissertation is that the drammagrammar approach is beneficial to the acquisition of foreign language grammar. This hypothesis is corroborated by research findings from language teaching pedagogy and drama in education. It is further confirmed by empirical data gained from specifically designed dramagrammar modules that have been put into practice in German departments at the University of Leicester (England), the University Colleges Cork and Dublin (Ireland), the University of Bologna (Italy), as well as the Goethe-Institute Bratislava (Slovenia). The data suggests that drammagrammar has positive effects on both understanding of and attitudes towards grammar.
Literaturvermittlung auf dem Weg von gestern nach morgen - eine auslandsgermanistische Perspektive
(2002) Schewe, Manfred
Literaturvermittlung in der Auslandsgermanistik ist traditionell die Domäne der Literaturwissenschaft, die allerdings eine Antwort darauf schuldig bleibt, was jemanden zu einem guten Literaturvermittler macht und worin die besondere Qualität von Lernprozessen besteht, die Studierende im Laufe der Semester anhand von deutschsprachiger Literatur machen. Angesichts der Tatsache, dass Literatur als Bildungsgut und ihr Stellenwert im Curriculum heutzutage nicht mehr so selbstverständlich akzeptiert ist wie vor Jahrzehnten, sollte sich die Auslandsgermanistik solchen und ähnlichen Fragen bereitwilliger stellen und offen diskutieren, wie in künftigen Jahren das studentische Interesse an Literatur wach gehalten bzw. neu entfacht werden kann. Ein wichtiger Schritt in diese Richtung wäre ein Ernster-Nehmen literaturdidaktischer Fragestellungen und insbesondere der Erforschung von Aspekten der vernachlässigten Lehrund Lernpraxis. Es wird dafür plädiert, sich in der Literaturvermittlung künftig nicht ausschließlich an wissenschaftlichen Kategorien zu orientieren, sondern diese auch als eine Form ästhetischer Praxis zu begreifen.
Literatur verstehen und inszenieren: Foreign language literature through drama, a research project
(2003-01) Schewe, Manfred; Scott, Trina
Based on the experience that today's students find it more difficult than students of previous decades to relate to literature and appreciate its high cultural value, this paper argues that too little is known about the actual teaching and learning processes which take place in literature courses and that, in order to ensure the survival of literary studies in German curricula, future research needs to elucidate for students, the wider public and, most importantly, educational policy makers, why the study of literature should continue to have an important place in modern language curricula. Contending that students' willingness to engage with literature will, in the future, depend to a great extent on the use of imaginative methodology on the part of the teacher, we give a detailed account of an action research project carried out at University College Cork from October to December 2002 which set out to explore the potential of a drama in education approach to the teaching and learning of foreign language literature. We give concrete examples of how this approach works in practice, situate our approach within the subject debate surrounding Drama and the Language Arts and evaluate in detail the learning processes which are typical of performance-based literature learning. Based on converging evidence from different data sources and overall very positive feedback from students, we conclude by recommending that modern language departments introduce courses which offer a hands-on experience of literature that is different from that encountered in lectures and teacher-directed seminars.
Einleitung: Dramapädagogik und fremdsprachlicher Deutschunterricht

Drama und theater in der fremd- und zweitsprachenlehre: Blick zurück nach vorn
(University College Cork, 2007-01) Schewe, Manfred
Zwischen dem Bereich Drama/Theater und dem Bereich Fremdsprachenvermittlung gibt es seit jeher Verbindungslinien. Zumindest war der Lehrer immer schon ein Akteur, der den Schülern etwas so ‘vorzuspielen’ versuchte, dass die Aufmerksamkeit des Lernerpublikums gebannt blieb; und eigentlich haben Lehrer und Schüler im fremdsprachlichen Unterricht immer schon ‘Theater’ gespielt, indem sie so taten, als ob die Unterhaltung in der fremden Sprache für sie natürlich sei. Der folgende Beitrag zeichnet wichtige Entwicklungsetappen des Brückenbaus zwischen den Bereichen Drama/Theater und Fremd-/Zweitsprachenlehre seit Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts nach. Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass ‘Drama und Theater in der Fremd-/Zweitsprachenlehre’ sich nunmehr als eines der vielen Anwendungsfelder etabliert hat, die mit dem Fach- und Sammelbegriff ‘Applied Theatre’ erfasst werden. Der Begriff bezieht sich auf das breite Spektrum von Individuen, Gruppen und Institutionen, für die das Theater als Kunstform nicht reiner Selbstzweck ist, sondern zentraler Bezugspunkt und Inspirationsquelle für drama-/theaterbezogene Aktivitäten. Durch solche Aktivitäten sollen im jeweiligen Anwendungsfeld ganz bestimmte Ziele erreicht werden, im Falle des fremd- und zweitsprachlichen Unterrichts z.B. sprach-, literatur- und kulturbezogene Ziele. Dieser Beitrag versteht sich als kompakte Bündelung und insbesondere Aktualisierung von Überlegungen, die erstmalig in meinem Buch Fremdsprache inszenieren (1993) erschienen sind. Zur Ergänzung dieses kompakten Überblicks sei auf die umfangreiche Forschungsbibliographie auf der Homepage dieser Zeitschrift verwiesen. Zum Konzept ‘Applied Theatre’ vgl. z.B. Ackroyd 2000; Taylor 2003; Nicholson 2005

A literary occupation: responses of German writers in service in occupied Europe
(University College Cork, 2012-05) O'Keeffe, William John; Hofmann, Gert
This thesis examines the literary output of German servicemen writers writing from the occupied territories of Europe in the period 1940-1944. Whereas literary-biographical studies and appraisals of the more significant individual writers have been written, and also a collective assessment of the Eastern front writers, this thesis addresses in addition the German literary responses in France and Greece, as being then theatres of particular cultural/ideological attention. Original papers of the writer Felix Hartlaub were consulted by the author at the Deutsches Literatur Archiv (DLA) at Marbach. Original imprints of the wartime works of the subject writers are referred to throughout, and citations are from these. As all the published works were written under conditions of wartime censorship and, even where unpublished, for fear of discovery written in oblique terms, the texts were here examined for subliminal authorial intention. The critical focus of the thesis is on literary quality: on aesthetic niveau, on applied literary form, and on integrity of authorial intention. The thesis sought to discover: (1) the extent of the literary output in book-length forms. (2) the auspices and conditions under which this literary output was produced. (3) the publication history and critical reception of the output. The thesis took into account, inter alia: (1) occupation policy as it pertained locally to the writers’ remit; (2) the ethical implications of this for the writers; (3) the writers’ literary stratagems for negotiating the constraints of censorship.

Taking stock and looking ahead: Drama pedagogy as a gateway to a performative teaching and learning culture
(German Department, University College Cork, 2013-07) Schewe, Manfred
This overview article initially focuses on early connections between dramatic art, teaching, learning, and living, followed by a brief account of how Great Britain took on a pioneering role with regard to the establishment of drama as a school subject, method and educational sub-discipline. It then focuses on how drama pedagogy in foreign language teaching and learning has developed as a specific field of research and practice since the 1970s, acknowledging the important contributions to the field made by scholars and practitioners from outside Great Britain. An overview of current practice in the field is given by presenting different (small-scale and large-scale) forms of staging language, literature and culture. The article concludes by proposing a model for a Performative Fremdsprachendidaktik (Performative Foreign Languages Didactics) and by arguing that in the future performative be used as an umbrella term to describe forms of foreign language teaching and learning that derive from the performing arts.
Teaching for understanding the year abroad: Thoughts on fostering the reflective learner
(Coulter Faculty Center for Excellence in Teaching & Learning at Western Carolina University, 2014-02) O'Reilly, Claire
Using data collected from student surveys, the author has outlined a program of study designed for students on the verge of embarking on study abroad, or year abroad, programs. The goal is to help students become more autonomous, self-reflective learners while abroad to increase the cultural and intercultural benefits of such study. Using the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) framework and the concept of Intercultural Anchored Inquiry are helpful in fostering such learning.
