Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This article compares the approaches and results of two qualitative studies conducted respectively at the City University of New York in 2010 and at the Law Faculty of UPEC. It aims to describe and analyse how drama (as a social art) can be used to explore how the physicality of communication, with an emphasis on gesture and emotion, creates a strong sense of ownership of, and identity within, the target language.
