This article is concerned with the notion of language as performance. Learning to use the spoken language of another culture requires learning embodied language practices as well as verbal ones. Many students seem largely unaware of how their performances of English are tempered and regulated by physical traits of their usual native-language habitus. This article explores the paradigm of classroom as rehearsal space, and argues that embodied language rehearsal and teacher intervention in the classroom can raise students' consciousness of contradictions and contrasts between their usual modes of embodiment and those appropriate to target English. This practical knowledge will lead to more culturally congruent performances of English.9 page(s
