Integrating Activity-Based Pedagogy and Process Drama in the Classroom/EFL

Abstract

Theater/drama is an art form  that conveys feelings and emotions, thoughts and concerns from the history of human civilization. Theater and drama have been used and defined in many ways for educational purposes. By integrating the four basic language skills (LSRW), they can be effectively assimilated in language classes to achieve communication goals. It is a powerful tool for engaging students in your content. The drama of this course will engage students in a social context in which they can think, imagine, speak, manipulate specific materials, and share perspectives on a variety of social issues. This study follows a quantitative method of collecting data from  respondents. Students' perspectives on the use of drama course techniques are also explored.

            This article aims to explore key issues and problems in  real classroom situations that teachers face. In addition, this article examines in detail how the activities of process drama can be assimilated into a foreign language class. Strategies and activities for acting, visualization, role play, and spreadsheets emphasize how they can be used in the classroom. It also aims to discuss how process drama can be effectively applied to improvisation in English teaching in the context of EFL.
