Peer reviewedMcLean, Alan C. – English Language Teaching Journal, 1976
The conventions of TV comedy, particularly in the two-man comedy team, have a role to play in the teaching of English as a foreign language. They offer situations where the normal language is both natural and repetitive, and where emotional states common to interpersonal communication can be exemplified. (Author/CFM)

Peer reviewedWalker, T. A. – English Language Teaching Journal, 1977
Several short improvised skits were used in a class on language usage for foreign teachers of English. The dramas were successful in getting the class to use idiomatic English and to induce even the self-conscious to speak. (CHK)
