Glottodrama is a two-year multilateral research project approved and co-funded in 2007 by the new Lifelong Learning Programme of the European Union.
The project is coordinated by the Language Research Laboratory of Edizioni Novacultur and aims to develop and test an innovative methodology for teaching Italian as a foreign language by integrating the communicative approach with the dynamics and the techniques of dramatic arts. According with the project’s plan its main outcomes will be made available for future applications to the teaching of other European languages.
Therefore this project also represents a first step to establish a European network of educational institutions interested in applying Drama&Theatre resources to language teaching in the framework of a communicative approach with a humanistic-affective orientation.
