Japanese foreign language education, predominantly English language education, has as its goal the development of language skills in order to create an internationally competitive workforce. Junior high and high school language education, however, have been unable to achieve this goal. University-level language education has been tasked to address the lack of development in communication skills, particularly in light of the globalization of many businesses. Process drama (PD), an educational approach where student and teacher work in and out of role to explore themes and issues, has been used to teach a variety of subjects, including language. Research in process drama and language learning indicates that it may be an approach well suited to the needs of Japanese university-level language education. The majority of works and research produced, since PD's inception and evolution as an educational tool, have focused mainly on the modus operandi of the approach and its benefits in developing student language ability. Furthermore, despite the benefits, process drama remains a niche approach to language teaching, both globally and within Japan, with a limited number of practitioners in Japan. Little research has been done related to language teachers` engagement with PD, and the limited amount of existing research has been at the secondary school level. This is an exploratory study focused on the lived experiences of university language teachers on their journey to becoming process drama practitioners (PDPs). The study sought to gain a deeper understanding of using PD as an English language teaching approach in Japanese HE, through exploring the experiences of six PDPs learning about; using; and sharing PD. The overall aim of the study is to develop strategies for promoting PD in this context, by exploring the views and experiences of those who are using this approach. The findings indicate that prior positive experiences with drama, predominantly as students, oriented the practitioners towards PD and encouraged its initial use. This was reinforced by the perception that PD aligned with student needs. Positive student outcomes and feedback were primary motivators for continued use of PD. The PDPs indicated that resources such as workshops and class observations, interaction with other practitioners, and the literature related to PD were predominantly from overseas. Thus, the PDPs themselves were required to modify and adapt resources to the Japanese context and create their own teaching material, both time-consuming challenges. The PDPs identified their training as being self-directed. Drama, both as a course and as an approach to teaching, is not included in Japanese elementary and secondary education, a possible factor for the limited number of practitioners. Experiences sharing PD with non-PDPs led the PDPs to perceive the need to distinguish PD from theatre-based approaches, and establish connections to familiar approaches to language teaching.
