Peter Lutzker Books

The first edition of this work became a standard reference work in the general context of humanistic approaches to foreign language teaching and learning. This new edition gives a brief overview of further developments in relevant fields and discusses the importance of the concept of teaching as an art in light of the increasing standardization and digitalization of education. Reviews of the 1st edition 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. Prof. Dr. Alan Maley in English Language Teaching Journal Peter Lutzker is a major educational thinker and has spent half an earthly span living towards this major book. (...) I have placed Peter's book on my shelves next to those of Rogers, Curran, Dufeu and Stevick. Mario Rinvolucri in Humanising Language Teaching

Diese Arbeit macht mit einer Reihe von Forschungsergebnissen aus den Bereichen der Sinnesphysiologie, der Kinesik, der Neurolinguistik, der Psycholinguistik und der Psychologie bekannt, die von anderer Seite Rudolf Steiners Entdeckung dokumentieren, dass es einen eigenen Sinn für Sprache gibt. Im Anhang wird auf dieser Grundlage ein neuer Ansatz für den Fremdsprachenunterricht entwickelt.

This study explores and develops the idea that foreign Language teaching can be an art. This encompasses both considering the meaning of artistry in Language teaching as well as the possibilities which artistic processes offer pupils in Language learning. The first part focuses on the in-service education of Language teachers in theatre and improvisation workshops; the second part examines pupils rehearsing and performing a full length play in a foreign Language. Thus, this work views the fields of Language teacher education and foreign Language learning within a common conceptual framework.
