"Teaching Drama Via Trials"
Dr. Wisam Mansour, currently a professor of English Literature at Applied Sciences University, Amman, Jordan, provides this short pedagogical essay.

Widdowson (1975) has argued convincingly that if we mean to develop the capacity in our students for independent reading and response, we must find means of engaging them actively in the exploration and interpretation of texts, not simply telling them what to see."
