Abstrakt
This thesis provides a historical overview of drama programs for English language teachers in the 1990s in the Czech Republic. It focuses on two projects: the Class Acts Teacher Network and the ELT Drama Network. The Class Acts Teacher Network (1996- 1998) trained teachers to create English plays for an annual festival. The second project, the ELT Drama Network (later known as EDEN) was developed in partnership with the British Council from 1999-2003. It focused on using drama as a teaching method in the English language classroom. The thesis includes case studies of participants, showing how the drama training affected them professionally and personally. The final part of the thesis outlines several English drama projects that took place at Charles University in Prague and West Bohemia University in Plzeň in the 1990s.
