Written in first person, this work parts from a research-action to investigate the
relation between the teaching and learning of foreign languages and theater in
accordance to the theatrical games proposed by Viola Spolin, that, according to
whom, enable experiencing, being fully involved and allows the learners of foreign
languages (FL) to learn in a participative way, since of one the biggest difficulties
that have been noticed in terms of learning is the lack of applicability of the
contents in a real context. It is also sought to think the theatrical art in a conscious
way as a methodology that comes from my pedagogic practices, conveying its
effectiveness, assuming the junction of theater and LE. The research counts on
the interdisciplinarity due to the search and partnership with professionals from
the Arts field, that have been giving me a much needed orientation about aspects
that have been unknown to me, for having only being graduated in Languages,
thus providing the exchange of ideas to fulfill the expectations about artistic,
pedagogic and aesthetic comprehension. In doing that, this work proposes
thinking about teaching-learning as of reflections that instigate the different forms
of teaching and, mainly, of learning, especially when there are theories that
approach the multiple intelligences defended by Howard Gardner, also discussed
in this work.
