Abstract
Researchers in drama education have investigated the cognitive, emotional, social and aesthetic potentials of drama. Even though important literacy and drama connections have been explored by drama educators (e.g. Booth & Neelands, 1998), they have rarely looked at the strong connections between drama pedagogies and second/foreign/ additional language learning.
