Abstract

This article explores the integration of drama in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classes to enhance
language learning. Amidst varied methods of English learning, the focus shifts from traditional teaching
approaches to literature, particularly drama. Literature's educational potential is underscored,
encompassing cultural exploration and personal growth. The discussion emphasizes drama's benefits and
challenges in EFL classrooms. Drama not only enhances language acquisition but also boosts
pronunciation, vocabulary, and confidence. Challenges include effective planning and addressing student
anxieties. In conclusion, drama's transformative impact on language learning is evident. By fostering
creativity, cooperation, and engagement, drama becomes a dynamic tool to enhance language skills.
Practical strategies for drama integration are highlighted, advocating for comprehensive preparation and
thoughtful execution in EFL classrooms
