Teaching English through Drama
Drama is an effective learning tool because it involves the student intellectually, physically, socially, and emotionally. This activity for teaching is meaningful since it put language in context, so students are able to control their linguistic skills. Drama is used to develop students' speaking skills through learning phrases or chunks of the language. Additionally, drama can be adapted to students' needs since it can transform a space, time, and identities, allowing students to try something new and different (Winston, 2012).
