Digitalisation and globalisation are the driving factors, thus requiring not only digital skills but also soft skills. New and ever-changing contexts require new and flexible training approaches. Performative teaching and learning has proven to be instrumental in helping to develop emotional and social skills, but it is best suited for face-to-face pedagogical contexts, or is it? This article will describe the elements of a workshop that aimed to train soft skills. It was inspired by an online training module in which the teachers applied a performative approach to train digital skills. The module was an integral part of an innovative, interdisciplinary, and interactive workshop, Active Learning Lab (ALL-EM), organised at Ca’ Foscari University. An abridged and adapted version of this workshop was presented at the 8th Scenario Forum Sore back, square eyes? Going performative in digital teaching and learning spaces (18/19 June 2021, online).","PeriodicalId":30047,"journal":{"name":"SCENARIO Journal for Performative Teaching Learning Research","volume":"76 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82298306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Das stellen Doreen Bryant und Alexandra L. Zepter, die Autorinnen des Lehrund Praxisbuchs Performative Zugänge zu Deutsch als Zweitsprache, nach einer Betrachtung der aktuellen fremdsprachendidaktischen Forschungslandschaft fest (S. 11). Trotz dieser Feststellung deutet Elis darauf hin, dass diese Zugänge noch nicht genügend im Alltag angekommen sind (2015, S. 112). Die vorliegende Publikation kann deshalb als Versuch gelesen werden, für ein Mehr an performativen Zugängen im Unterrichtsgeschehen, speziell im Bereich Deutsch als Zweitsprache, zu sorgen. Um dies zu gewährleisten, steckt das Buch mit dem Theorieteil performative Zugänge, kognitionstheoretische, erwerbstheoretische und sprachdidaktische Grundlagen im Hinblick auf Deutsch als Zweitsprache ab und zeigt, wie der „DaZ-Unterricht um eine weitere Perspektive“ (Bryant & Zepter, 2022, S. 12) bereichert werden kann. Begleitend bietet der Praxisteil viele unterschiedliche Impulse für den Unterricht, sodass (angehenden) Lehrenden ein Buch an die Hand gelegt wird, das Theorie und Praxis gekonnt miteinander verzahnt und zur Umsetzung im Unterricht anregt. Dass auch im DaZ-Bereich bereits performative Wege beschritten werden, steht außer Frage (z.B. Bryant, 2012; Dorner-Pau, 2021; Moraitis, 2018; Sambanis & Walter, 2019). Bisher fehlte jedoch eine solch grundlegende Aufarbeitung und Darstellung von performativen Zugängen speziell für DaZ, die mit dieser Publikation in der Form eines Lehrund Praxisbuchs verwirklicht wird.","PeriodicalId":30047,"journal":{"name":"SCENARIO Journal for Performative Teaching Learning Research","volume":"94 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88960950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Teachers often assume that their learners have already acquired ideas about the scene to be portrayed or that they can draw on knowledge from their first language. However, this is not always the case. To successfully perform a role-play and thus an interaction, learners need knowledge about the underlying generic characteristics, such as the structure or the verbal, but also non-verbal design of the scene. Referring to a process model for learning social interaction situations (Hallet, 2015), this paper argues for the use of film scenes to model different kinds of interactions and prepare learners for role-playing activities. After a presentation of the theoretical framework, selected results from a design-based research study, which focussed on promoting speaking in two Year 6 English classes (a total of 52 learners aged 11-12 on a pre-mediate level) via a synthesis of genre- and drama-based approach, are presented.","PeriodicalId":30047,"journal":{"name":"SCENARIO Journal for Performative Teaching Learning Research","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85100168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Zur Reduzierung dieses Gefühls der Foreign-Language Anxiety (FLA) schlägt die fremdsprachliche Lehr- und Lernforschung die Verwendung von dramapädagogischen Methoden vor. Vor allem die erste Phase des dramapädagogischen Prozesses, das Aufwärmen, ist vergleichsweise leicht in den schulpraktischen Alltag zu integrieren. Daher wurde in der vorliegenden Untersuchung geprüft, ob bereits die regelmäßige Anwendung von dramapädagogischen Aufwärmübungen einen positiven Einfluss auf die FLA und die Sprechbereitschaft von Schüler:innen haben kann. Dafür wurden mithilfe eines Messwiederholungsverfahrens zwei Hypothesen überprüft. Zunächst wurden 43 Schüler:innen zu ihrer FLA im Kontext des alltäglichen Englischunterrichts befragt. Diese Befragung wurde nach mehrmaliger Anwendung von Aufwärmübungen zu Beginn des Unterrichts wiederholt. Des Weiteren wurde die mündliche Beteiligung von acht Schüler:innen sowohl ohne also auch mit Einfluss der Aufwärmübungen beobachtet und erfasst. Die Auswertung zeigt, dass sich die FLA der Schüler:innen bereits nach zweiwöchiger Anwendung der dramapädagogischen Aufwärmübungen reduzierte, während die mündliche Beteiligung der ausgewählten Schüler:innen anstieg.","PeriodicalId":30047,"journal":{"name":"SCENARIO Journal for Performative Teaching Learning Research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76571665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Learners develop a positive attitude towards a language, are motivated to learn, and experience enjoyment through regular, meaningful, and positive engagement. Little attention, however, has so far been paid to the links between Positive Psychology, one of the reasons for the growth of interest in emotions, and embodied cognition which advocates the importance of the body and positive sensations for successful learning. While methods such as Total Physical Response (TPR) can help to get learners moving in class, learning through drama seems to be particularly apt to facilitate embodied learning. Students physically engage with situations, characters, and feelings as they inhabit different spaces, often collaboratively. This paper first introduces embodied cognition. It then discusses the links between embodiment and Positive Psychology, taking Seligman's PERMA MODEL as a point of reference. Following this, it shows how embodied learning can be integrated in the English as a foreign language classroom by using techniques from improvisational theatre.","PeriodicalId":30047,"journal":{"name":"SCENARIO Journal for Performative Teaching Learning Research","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79546496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
