The Role of Drama in Task-based Learning: Agency,
Identity and Autonomy
Lorna Carson
Abstract
Drama is a genre which connects the public and private, the rehearsed and
the spontaneous, the self and the other. These intriguing relationships
may be examined, from an applied linguistic perspective, through the
concepts of agency, autonomy and identity. This paper discusses the role
of drama in university language learning within a task-based framework,
and draws from an example of a collaborative drama task designed for
postgraduate students in an English for Academic Purposes programme.
It explores how the ideas of agency, autonomy and identity can help
conceptualise this type of curricular activity, and presents the design and
implementation of a dramatic task, and reviews learner evaluation of the
task’s perceived impact as an alternative learning approach which lowers
affective barriers, the benefits and challenges of a collaborative task, and
perceived growth in language proficiency
