Authors : Rogti Maroua . Guerroudj Noureddine .

Abstract

This study seeks to explore the prospection of the use of role-play activity in teaching drama to EFL learners and view its impact on developing the learners’ communicative skills and competence. Indeed, it tempts to demonstrate the practical handling of dramatic acting by transposing a dramatic text on stage in class. For getting a clear understanding of the impact of dramatic text teaching through acting, we tempt to prove the extent to which the suggested activity can be effective for students through the different methodologies used in class using a case study method with a questionnaire designed for teachers of drama collecting their views about the possibility of achieving efficient results. Thus, it has been investigated that there were good responses from students regarding the use of role-play as a substantial activity for teaching dramatic texts in class.
