Welcome to IAPL 2012-- IAPL 4th Conference
In this increasingly globalized world, our only hope lies in our ability to talk with ourneighbours. Three years ago, on a particularly windy weekend in February 2006, mycolleague Hiroko Noro and I organized an event here at the University of Victoria called“Performing Language: International Conference on Theatre and Second Language
Teaching.” The conference exceeded our dreams, attracting close to a hundred
participants from as far away as Japan, New Zealand and Israel, to give a range ofexciting papers and workshops on the application of theatre and dramatic techniques toteaching of English, French, Japanese and other languages. We were also delighted tohave present there the gifted Japanese playwright and director Hirata Oriza, who wasteaching then in both the Departments of Theatre and Pacific and Asian Studies. The
success of that conference inspired us to make this an annual thing, and we created theInternational Association of Performing Language. Our first regular annual meeting washeld at Waseda University in Tokyo in November 2007. For this, our second regularmeeting, we return to UVic just around the time that the plums start to bloom in this mildcity on the West Coast of a chillier Canada. IAPL brings together language instructors andtheatre practitioners, people who hitherto had not often had much to do with one another,
to explore what is, after all, a common project of ours: the investigation of ways in which
we as human beings interact and communicate with one another. Especially for those of
us who teach and learn language, theatre offers us wonderful techniques to hone our skills,
to make the task of learning and instructing more enjoyable and more efficacious, and to
be more aware of how we impart ideas and feelings to one another. The most exciting partof this process has been the integration of practice and theory, with a judicious mix ofacademic papers and more hands-on workshops that are the bread and butter of theatre
exercise and instruction. We hope that we can develop the work here into a variety of“spin-offs,” including the publication of proceedings as well as providing much needed
training for instructors of second languages.
We would especially like to thank our colleagues Cam Culham, Will Weigler, MikaKimura, who have been helping us getting this conference possible, as well as theDepartment of Pacific and Asian Studies and our local friends and supporters of IAPL for
their generous assistance.
