A atividade teatral como instrumento para a aprendizagem do pleno departamento de interpretação e tradução da universidade de bolonha, sede de forlì: o relato de uma experiência.

Abstract

This text presents the theatrical activity used as a didactic laboratory for the teaching of the Portuguese language to Italian university students, and wishes to make known this learning instrument that has existed for many years at the University of Forlì with positive results through examples. Theatrical activity is formative and is a growth tool for all ages and throughout all stages of life. The university theater laboratory in Forlì is a positive experience as well as a useful teaching tool leading to the conclusion that one can teach a foreign language through it, and that musical theater, as is the case, can serve to teach and learn an "other" language. It turns out that when writing the text and song lyrics, students learn to write sentences with more elaborate syntax, to learn to use idioms and ways of saying, to write a letter with the proper metric to be sung. It is recognized that the theatrical laboratory is useful for teaching not only literature or dramaturgy, but also for foreign language didactics where students can experience the efficiency of various simulation and dramatization techniques. For years, theater has been the fulcrum of an activity and a didactic instrument rather than an art form by itself. Teaching through theater is part of a didactic context, and is no longer just a choice of a teacher full of initiative and creativity. As such, we have realized over the years that theater has taught us to recognize our own anxieties and to manage them in a protected environment by demonstrating that going up on stage helps to protect oneself from fears and build a broader personality.
