Embodying Language in Action “This splendid book intrigues, astonishes and enlightens. Grounded in Piazzoli’s candid personal stories, it seamlessly interweaves pedagogy and artistry—embodiment, feeling, cognition, research, performance, culture and linguistics—into a rich tapestry of insights. It is a model of praxis, blending encyclopaedic grasp of theory and literature with assured practice.” —John O’Toole, University of Melbourne, Australia “This timely publication is an excellent introduction to the artistry of process drama in second language education and a significant contribution to the scholarly debate on performativity in education. Erika Piazzoli offers rich theoretical perspectives on Embodying Language in Action, complemented by ten very inspiring examples of teaching practice, and engages the reader by drawing on autobiographical vignettes and personal memories. The book promises to become an important reference point for all those who believe that creative doing should be at the centre of education, who are eager to understand better in what sense and to what extent language teaching is an art, the teacher is an artist and the students are co-artists.” —Manfred Schewe, University College Cork, Ireland
