In 2008, I had the distinct pleasure of visiting the Dramatic English program based in Hong Kong. It is the world's largest
and most sophisticated enterprise related to teaching English through drama. It is run by Mr. Man Cheung, M.A., a man
of mixed Irish and Chinese heritage who grew up in Australia. The overview below is taken directly from DE's website and you
may click on the titles to access all that's on the site.
