 note = {This paper reports on my experience as a teacher at Kansai International High School in Japan instructing students on drama as a literary genre during “Japanese Literature in English” class. To effectively contrast it with the other genres discussed (non-fiction and poetry), and to draw out the specificities of language usage in drama, the students were asked to perform Kinoshita Junji’s Yūzuru after translating/interpreting it into English themselves. While describing how performing the language of a character helped the students to step out of their own ‘character’ and embrace the (spoken and body) language of the ‘other’, the paper provides the materials and key points that made the activity successful and presents the positive effects this activity had on the students’ confidence and motivation in language performance.},
