This book introduces the application of drama and arts-related activities to the teaching of English as a second or additional language in early education. Joe Winston draws on both his own scholarly expertise and experience as a practitioner to provide a theoretical rationale, practical examples, tips and easy-to-read teaching guides intended to help busy professionals apply drama related methods in an efficient and accessible way. Detailed examples of schemes of work are included for all year groups and developmental stages between the ages of 3 and 7 years of age. Each scheme centres on a popular and easily obtainable picturebook or children' s story. Detailed guidance on how to plan and structure lessons with specific learning objectives is offered, as is extensive advice on issues of classroom management. The practical approaches have been used successfully in early years settings in China and primary and pre-primary settings in the UK, and are adaptable to a variety of national and cultural contexts.
Winston' s expertise as a drama pedagogy specialist and scholar is on full display in Performative Language Teaching in Early Education. This expertly crafted new book includes an impressive roster of resources for drama pedagogy and is ideal for the growing fields of performative language teaching and the use of drama methods in early childhood education. * Mary McAvoy, Associate Professor of Theatre Education and Theatre for Youth, Arizona State University, USA * Joe Winston' s books are always innovative, scholarly and grounded in best teaching practice. Here Winston provides advice on how to engage young children through performative language teaching. I' ll be keeping this book within reach and can' t wait to put some of his wonderful, aesthetically-rich plans into action! * Madonna Stinson, Associate Professor, School of Education and Professional Studies, Griffith University, Australia * This publication will inform, guide and inspire you. Once again, Winston has written a book which is at the same time a scholarly volume and a joy to read, balancing eloquence, clarity and great expertise. This is a must-have for all language teachers working with young children. * Erika Piazzoli, Assistant Professor in Arts Education, Trinity College Dublin, The University of Dublin, Ireland *
