APPLYING ONLINE DRAMA SCRIPT TO BETTER SPEAKING PROFICIENCY AND VOCABULARY BUILDING

Abstract

Delivering ideas to others requires speaking to them. Every language user should learn this tool. For EFL learners, carrying out such a practice causes an issue. The university students encountered it. During the delivery, they experience stammering or getting stuck. They enrolled in a conversation class that used internet drama transcripts to conduct performing drama to correct their weakness in speaking practice. The study’s objective is to demonstrate the value of using online theater scripts to improve speaking abilities. 24 freshmen were participating in the teaching and learning process. Each student needs to have a device with them to ensure learning success. It is the device used to access online content. The instructor divided the class into five groups to get things going. A coordinator operated each one. The teacher provided the URL to let students access the material. The pupils clicked on, and a page of drama titles appeared. The group’s leader guided every one of his passengers in making the right decision. Each participant was then given a role in the drama practice. The students read every word and expression in the scripts to comprehend its content. They looked up the meanings of the unfamiliar words using their electronic dictionary. Each student that had issues was given self-assistance by the teacher. The teacher invited each group to perform once they had finished practicing and rehearsing the drama in their groups. The instructor commented on the pupils’ efforts. Following the conclusion of the performance by all pupils, the discussion of the drama’s subject matter was given. It was evident from the use of a number of practice sessions that the pupils’ vocabulary and speaking abilities had improved. The teacher will benefit from using it when teaching the relevant subjects. It also encourages additional investigation by other researchers.
