Abstract

The paper explores the viability and practicality of conducting drama in education (DIE) in online mode for second language (L2) learning. Using WhatsApp and Zoom, authors implemented a fifteen-day intervention program with participants studying in grades 6 and 7. This study using qualitative research methods aims to comprehend learners’ and parents’ perceptions regarding the online DIE workshop through semi-structured interviews. Additionally, through facilitator’s observation and field notes, authors examine the adaptability and efficacy of conducting DIE sessions in virtual mode. The study confirms that the DIE can be successfully conducted online as a viable pedagogical approach for L2 instruction and has a significant impact on the learners. However, the research also highlights the challenges faced by the drama facilitator and students during the virtual session. The study holds implications for pedagogical researchers, language instructors, policymakers, and software developers, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of implementing DIE in online L2 instruction.

课堂之外：第二语言教学法教育中的在线戏剧综合研究

本文探讨了在第二语言（L2）学习中以在线模式开展教育戏剧（DIE）的可行性和实用性。作者使用 WhatsApp 和 Zoom，对六年级和七年级的参与者实施了为期 15 天的干预计划。本研究采用定性研究方法，旨在通过半结构化访谈了解学习者和家长对在线 DIE 工作坊的看法。此外，通过主持人的观察和现场记录，作者还考察了在虚拟模式下开展 DIE 课程的适应性和有效性。研究证实，DIE 可以作为一种可行的教学方法在网上成功开展，并对学习者产生重大影响。不过，研究也强调了戏剧主持人和学生在虚拟课程中面临的挑战。这项研究对教学研究人员、语言教师、政策制定者和软件开发人员都有启示意义，有助于全面了解在在线 L2 教学中实施 DIE 的情况。
