Learning how to teaching the language of drama is different if compare to teaching the language of short story. For short story, I don’t have to know about the history of short story. Just focus at the short story and writers. As for drama, I have to know a little bit about the background of the drama and theatre itself. Before this I always think that theatre only divided into two types which are modern theatre and older version of theatre. Now then I know that in “older version” of theatre there are a few types. There are Greek Theatre, Roman Theatre, Medieval Theatre and 20th century drama. Before this, I just consider all these as “older version” and “modern version” without knowing it has appropriate term. When Dr. Edwin taught about all these, I feel lucky because I actually can imagine and visualize how the theatre looks like during medieval theatre because I had watched the movie “Shakespeare In Love”. Setting in that movie really show how theatre looks like during medieval era and it make me have clear view about it when Dr. Edwin mention about it.
