- Promote a context-based approach to the plays, drawing also from cultural studies and various literary theories. - Look for and build strategies to raise teachers and students' awareness of Irish and Cuban specific worlds of meaning ensuring that interpretation emerges from the text.
First session: Cuba Second Session: Dog House Methodology: 1) Presentation and discussion of theoretical frameworks. 2) Guided group reflection and exchange of ideas on how to approach two culture-specific plays. 3) Reading of key extracts in the play and reflection on main themes, cultural symbols and gaps. 4) Proposal for creative activities and writing tasks for IGCSE classes. 5) Generation of further possible activities by the group in the light of the model proposed in the workshop. Previous reading of the plays is presupposed. The book is available at ESSARP
