| Description | The objective of this chapter is to introduce drama and structuring drama work as a multisensory approach that integrates more than only linguistic intelligence (Gardner, 1999), which is not the strenth of SEN learners, namely dyslexic learners. Structured drama is a special type of method or holistic planning of teaching the EFL subject content in a meaningful context. As this is a complex method the aim of this chapter is to briefly introduce the theoretical background of drama in EFL as well as to introduce one structured drama lesson to demonstrate some of the possibilities of structuring EFL content in a way that is suitable for SEN children incorporating psychomotoric, affective, and cognitive aims; various learning strategies as well as various intelligences. |
