Abstract
This is the third instalment of an international and multilingual bibliography on play acting (and writing) in FLT. It is argued that FL teachers should begin using pantomime and role play, puppet shows and educational drama (in the widest sense of the word) from a very early stage. As they grow up, students develop empathy and language skills when they slip into various roles, they also learn to avoid anomie and national stereotypes (it is hoped). Play acting makes students whole. The bibliographical entries stem from international (journal and book) sources, thus inviting the FL teacher to overstep the usual barriers of target language and home country.
