Intercultural communication through drama in the language classroom teachers’ perspective

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the problem of development and stimulating the knowledge, skills and attitudes concerning intercultural communication among language teachers. The language learning and learning about target cultures cannot realistically be separated and they create the communication competence. Foreign language teachers should be aware of the place of cultural studies within foreign teaching and try to enhance and stimulate students’ culture awareness and improve their intercultural communication competence. Drama and theatre are very much culture rooted and seem to be the best remedy for language teachers. The paper describes the pilot 40 hour drama and theatre project which was aimed at increasing intercultural awareness among language teachers in Poland.
