About the Journal

SCENARIO, founded in 2007, is a fully peer-reviewed journal for Performative Teaching, Learning, Research. It started off as a bilingual (English–German) journal, but has evolved into a trilingual journal and from 2023 onwards will also feature Italian language contributions.  
Scenario's specific focus is on the role of drama and theatre in the teaching and learning of foreign/second languages, including the literatures and cultures associated with these languages.

The journal is the main pillar of the Scenario Project which encompasses a book series and a forum for conferences, symposia and colloquia; for further details on events and initiatives that aim to promote international exchange and collaboration visit the Scenario Project homepage at: https://www.ucc.ie/en/scenario/
