“…The artistic practices employing languages in the drama workshops included dramatic improvisation, dance, singing, visual arts and video, chosen by the students in the course of their performances. This non-verbal, emotional, sensorimotor and verbal multilingual languaging is what Aden [15] calls translangager: "a dynamic act of relatedness to oneself, to others and to one's environment. "…”

Mainly used to teach a second language or internationally valued language in an academic curriculum, drama workshops are also used to improve the language spoken in a new country. On many occasions, students are academic pupils who are also first or second-generation migrants settled in a new country with a multilingual profile. This is often the case for students of the UPEC, Université de Paris Est- Créteil, in France. This is a 6-year long experience of multilingual workshops developed in the UPEC, producing more than twenty original 20-minute performances and written plays. This performative pedagogy is Francisco Varela’s enaction paradigm (1993). Also known as embodied cognition or situated cognition, enaction deals with human productions—even specific ones, such as language—by studying the neurological and biological basis of subjective and individual phenomena in an ecological context. Held in a multilingual context, the workshops explore sensitive experiences. In fact, through theater, we uncovered or rediscovered biological tracks as the neurological basis of communication. Our expression involved both individuals and cultural trends: by sharing stories during the multilingual and multicultural workshops.

“…According to Aden et al, quoting Varela, performing arts also ground language understanding and communication in the history of repeated interactions of the subject in one's environment : "what makes a word relevant is not its form but the coordination of actions that it provokes" (Maturana & Varela, 1994, p.203, original in French, quoted in Aden, Clark & Potapushkina-Delfosse, 2019. Learning (a new language, or new academic field) therefore requires a "weaving of affectivity with knowledge" (Aden, 2018). Considering all these dimensions, we would like to emphasise a process that we consider decisive in our course.…”

Due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, a Swiss university course called “Psychology and Migration” had to move online over the Spring semester 2021. In this course, Psychology and Education students learn about the sociocultural considerations of migration, through a theoretical, personal and artistic exploration of the subjective experience of migration, based on performing arts. As part of the main pedagogical strategies, students are invited to collectively create a short theatre play based on some selected literary texts. Under the conditions imposed by the pandemic, puppetry arts were chosen as a new tool for distance-learning. Collaborating with theatre professionals, the students created a short play, and performed it online using sock puppets, image theatre or object theatre. Using data collected during the course (video recordings of online sessions and students’ diaries), this article explores the critical process of reduction and expansion, and the (potentially) productive tensions that the course creates. It analyses two main appropriation modes for course students: in adaptative appropriation, students aim to reduce these tensions by adapting to the perceived expectations of teachers; in transformative appropriation, students creatively use possibilities offered by the course to conduct a personal exploration, integrating theories with their own experiences and questions.

“…The pupils create stories with the communicative means at their disposal, using gestures, mimics, emotions, movement in space, proxemics, but also verbalized languages. When they do not have the language skills, they use mediation strategies in the enactive sense (Aden, 2013, Eschenauer, 2017, including codemeshing and codemixing if necessary, or sometimes even translation. They therefore sometimes use their first languages, which are valued and linked to the languages of the school (i.e.…”

“…The translanguaging body as mediator of meaning: an enactive-performative approach to modern language learning at school The practices and techniques of the body, as emphasised by a growing number of educational researchers, have their rightful place in the language course(s) taught and experienced at school (Aden, 2008(Aden, , 2013Azaoui, 2014;Eschenauer, 2014Eschenauer, , 2018Lapaire, 2011;Soulaine, 2010;Tellier, 2010Tellier, , 2014Trocmé-Fabre, 1999, 2012). To the central question of this issue "how does the body of speakers co-construct discourse and meaning in didactic speech?…”
