Abstract:
One of the most effective means of unlocking students and breaking down mental reserves is theater, which offers the opportunity to use the foreign language to "do something", possibly to entertain, and not just to demonstrate that the grammar rule was learned. Dramatization recreates a situation of spontaneous communication and facilitates memory and language learning. Often, in speech, the understanding of an utterance goes through the context, which requires semiotic competence, that is, the ability to recognize and relate the different linguistic and extra-linguistic codes.Theatrical language has the advantage of being close to speech due to the variety of speech opening and closing forms, the low frequency of the connective, lexical redundancy and the presence of extra-segmental features (exclamations, laughter, coughs, etc.) and in emphatic forms.The Glottodrama method simultaneously discusses all the components of the speech act and linguistic competence, harmonizing them in one of the oldest art forms, theater.
