Art is a common language for humans. Modern dialogical art aims at advancing the conversation between different communities. Artists establish a communication platform. They try to break the boundary between artists and the audience, allowing everyone to have dialogues in their respective fields. Teaching is a form of art, and the process of teaching and learning should be a work of arts which are conducted by teachers and students. “Revival classroom’’ is a practice that comes from the teacher’s teaching experiences and reflections. It’s objectives to use drama as an art method, trying to find a new teaching model. The "Revival classroom" allows teachers and students to learn through dialogue. The classroom is a place where multiple voices coexist to carry out learning. The classroom can be a place full of possibility and potential. Through arts, we can access the power to listen to beautiful stories from different cultures. The participants of the action research are comprised of the researcher’s students from S junior high school. The teaching model is teaching social studies through drama. This course goes on for 8 weeks. In addition, the research tries to open students to different senses by exploring self and social relationships, and deep cognitive, psychological and affective learning. The course design follows three levels: 1. One''s voice and conversation through arts (drama) 2. Realization of a self-relatedness in society, and 3. Learning social knowledge through situations and cultivating action abilities. Teachers try to change the way of teaching, searching for a way to make students let out their voices in the classroom. Through conversation teaching, students can learn actively and complete their learning. This helps them become an agent of society. Recently in education pedagogy, strong emphasis has been made in conversation: a community of learning, forum theater etc. This research is based on community of learning and forum theater theories, developing the program of learning social knowledge through art. To find possibilities in the classroom, and establish methods for conversation class models. This allows the class to become a “community of learning’’, “alive’’, and a “conversational’’ learning space.
