ABSTRACT In this article, I outline and theorize about a series of three lessons on playwriting I conducted in a secondary English Literature classroom in Singapore using drama improvisation strategies that I name drama-based playwriting, or DBP. I advance the argument that this genre of creative writing is best taught through the medium of drama so as to sensitize students to the demands of the art form that are not normally made apparent through traditional literary analysis. After all, drama has a dual life on the printed page and the theatrical stage.

基于戏剧的剧本创作：在英语文学课堂通过戏剧教学剧本创作

摘要 在这篇文章中，我概述并理论化了我在新加坡中学英语文学课堂上使用戏剧即兴策略进行的一系列三个剧本创作课程，我称之为基于戏剧的剧本创作，或 DBP。我提出这样一个论点，即这种创造性写作类型最好通过戏剧媒介来教授，以便使学生对艺术形式的需求敏感，而这些需求通常无法通过传统文学分析来体现。毕竟，戏剧在印刷页面和戏剧舞台上具有双重生命。
