摘要
The article discusses the role that the dramatization of English literature plays in addressing two major difficulties in English literary work comprehension for intermediate English learners in China,namely the linguistic difficulty and the cultural misunderstanding. By taking the dramatization of British writer Jane Austin's masterpiece Pride and Prejudice as a case study,the first part of the essay examines the role of dramatization in tackling linguistic difficulties based on the interactive reading model developed by David E. Rumelhart(1977) while the second part analyzes how an integral framework for understanding target culture is constructed through the process of dramatization with a reference to Galloway's(1992) four-stage approach to a cultural reading of authentic materials.
