Isi artikel

In this article I recommend the use of a particular type of drama activity playwriting, and subsequent playreading-in English language teaching. I review the potential of playwriting activities for language development as described in the literature. I then describe how I organized playwriting and playreading activities within the framework of a language development course taught to first-year undergraduate students of TESL at the University of Brunei Darussalam. Playwriting provides a natural context for the integration of the four skills, as students write and rewrite their scripts and rehearse their lines. As an example of an authentic and recognized text type-a play for the theatre the playwriting activity results in a text of more than transitory value, which is written not for the teacher, but for the benefit of current and unknown future audiences.
