The first edition of this book published in 2007 became a widely read reference work in the broader context of humanistic approaches to foreign language teaching and learning. Its development of the concept of teaching as an art draws on multiple historical and theoretical perspectives, as well as on qualitative research studies focusing on artistic teacher education and foreign language learning through drama. This new and updated edition will consider further developments in these and related fields, along with discussing the heightened relevance of this concept in light of the increasing standardization and digitalization of education.
I believe that the book will become a standard reference point for all those who, against the current tide of 'scientific', objectives-based, test-oriented, control-obsessed, sterile approaches to language teaching, continue to believe that language teaching is indeed an art, and a joyful art at that.
