8 My Home, My Place - A Study on Developing Children s Sense of Place Based on Drama Courses Chun - Yu Wang Kidergarten Teacher, Affiliated Experimental Elementary School of National Chiayi University Mei-Chun Lin Professor, Department of Drama Creation and Application, National University of Tainan Abstract The study explored the process of practicing drama courses to develop children s sense of place in the kindergarten, involving both teaching challenges and children s learning performance. The action research method was adopted herein, and the objectives are 4- to 5-year-old children in the researcher s class. The study period lasted for 16 weeks and involved a forty-minute drama course each week. Data were collected and analyzed through classroom observations, interviews, reflective notes, and documents of the students. The result showed that the classroom environmental planning of the dramatic play center was the best start to inspire children about their family life experience. If the courses can emphasize the following elements of drama, Props - play accessories, Characters - family roles, an Setting - play space, and they can choose related dramatic strategies to construct an interactive atmosphere, then children can easily experience what diverse homes are like. During the process of shaping the sense of place in the kindergarten, introducing students family members into their dramatic play center can ease children s environmental anxiety, develop their place identity and belonging, and enhance their psychological safety and place attachment. In this way, children can learn naturally in a homelike learning atmosphere. From the above results, suggestions are provided for teachers, schools, and researches for further study in the future.

12 National Salvation and Enlightenment: A Study on Children s Plays During The Martial Law Period in Taiwan Hsi-ju Chen Assistant Professor, Department of Drama Creation and Application, National University of Tainan Abstract The peak period of children s drama play writing in Taiwan dates from the declaration of Martial Law subsequent to the R.O.C. government s relocation to Taiwan in 1949 until the lifting of Martial Law in An initial estimate showed that nearly one hundred children s drama plays got published after being approved in drama competitions, which brought into being the first wave of Children s Drama Movement in Taiwan. During this time period, children s drama plays featured the double mission of national salvation and enlightenment. The former means that children s drama should serve the national needs in light of social and political circumstances; while the latter stressed that it should also be endowed with a cultural purpose for the benefit of children s growth. The two orientations, one for complying with the fate of submission to the nation (political, antagonistic, ideological, and ethnic) and the other for fulfilling the proper needs of culture, art, and education (individual and universal), interlaced for nearly 40 years and contributed to the unique aesthetic development of children s drama in Taiwan. This paper takes Chinese Children s Dramas as the research context and traces the development history of children s drama during the period of the Republic of China. It further engages in observation of the two perspectives of drama literature and drama theme, in order to explore the origin where Taiwanese children s drama was bred and created and to construct the development features of children s drama during turbulent times. Aside from reconstructing the artistic and cultural values, this paper also synchronously reveals the unique historic features with the dual missions related to art and culture that intertwined during this period.

14 Eugène Ionesco s Course in General Linguistics : An Anatomy of The Bald Soprano and The Lesson Lan Chien-Hung National Taitung University Graduate Institute of Children s Literature Assistant Professor Abstract While translating The Lesson, Hung Hung indicated that this drama evokes my everlasting fear of schooling from young age to adult in realistic level. A class of language course meant to kill. It is believed that many people share such a feeling and could even be prominent today. Why does language kill? This article traces the language crisis in the 19 th century through Saussure s linguistics to the attack of Dadaism on language and concludes with Ionesco s The Bald Soprano and The Lesson, which placed language in the core and were surrounded by language teaching during the postwar 1950s. From this, the author sought to investigate the change of semiotic concepts and their internal political connections. Viewed through Ionesco s experience of French and Romanian languages during his exile, the author analyzed the hidden absurd drama of Course in General Linguistics in these two plays of language teaching, which also reflected an anti-fascist s concept. By explicating the meaning of the language courses, which have lasted for half a century and endured through warfare, the author tried to explore the possibility of language/literature teaching in democracy. Keywords:Eugène Ionesco, language teaching, the killing nature of language, emancipation of the signified, anti-fascism 106
