Crossing Borders

"Crossing Borders" is a non-fiction book that addresses the role of drama in English as a Second Language (ESL) teaching. It is aimed at educators and researchers and provides a comprehensive analysis of how dramatic methods can enhance the language skills of students at various levels. Through creative and meaningful tasks, the book allows learners to explore and express their ideas and feelings in new ways. Research findings indicate that the use of drama not only improves language skills in listening, reading, speaking, and writing but also deepens understanding of cultural and identity-related issues. The strategies presented in this book offer a valuable framework for reflecting on the experiences and narratives of ESL learners. The integration of verbal and non-verbal communication, along with the promotion of collaboration and risk-taking in a safe environment, are key elements that support student engagement through dramatic activities.
