Abstract:
Drama is a powerful language teaching tool that involves all of the students interactively all of
the class period. Drama can also provide the means for connecting students’ emotions and cognition
as it enables students to take risks with language and experience the connection between thought
and action. Teaching English as a foreign language inevitably involves a balance between receptive
and productive skills; here drama can effectively deal with this requirement. This paper intends to
present the results of a small scale study on the implementation of drama workshop among second
language learners. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the use of drama and dramatic activities
in English language teaching and learning. The paper highlights the benefits that students will
derive if they are exposed to the learning of English language through drama and dramatic
activities.
