I am conducting an online research survey addressed to language teachers who use drama/theatre in their classes, trying to find more about motivations, formats, assessment and training regarding drama in language teaching. (It is an extended and revised version of the paper questionnaire distributed at the DiE Days 2019.) I would appreciate your participation very much! (takes about 5 minutes)
