Chapter Eight Learning Processes and the Imaginary

This chapter involves more creative elements found in learning—the imagination and drama. Although many see dramatic representations as entertainment, the truth is that they offer a rich context for learning to take place. Dramatization and take place on many levels, but one of its most redeeming values is that it helps students enjoy the listening and learning experience so that vocabulary is acquired in a state of relaxation.  

Sue A. Rieg and Kelli R. Paquette support Diaz-Rico’s views by highlighting that learning is at its zenith when the student is immersed and actively partaking and exploring the physical environment (2009, p.149). The content still is of relevance and teachers can work with their students in myriad of formats and genres that create the greatest opportunities for learning.
