Abstract
Abstract: This paper reviews key literature published in English on drama and second language (L2) pedagogy. The author explores (a) the integral role drama has played in 20th and 21st century L2 teaching methodologies; (b) commonly cited approaches to integrating drama and L2 instruction; (c) uses of drama as a means of exploring culture and power relations within society, and; (d) major definitions and categorizations developed in the existing body of literature. To conclude, the argument is made that researchers must clearly explain and define their approaches to drama in L2 instruction and ground these approaches in relevant theories of second language learning.
