dc.description.abstractThis study investigates the use of drama-based techniques as an effective teaching approach to enhance speaking skills in A2-level teenage learners of English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Due to the communication challenges faced by adolescent learners with lower skills, drama provides an engaging method for participating in authentic language use. Techniques such as: role-playing, and process drama create significant scenarios that improve fluency and motivation. Drawing from theoretical frameworks and empirical studies, this research highlights how drama enhances language acquisition by minimizing emotional obstacles and encouraging active participation. The findings suggest that integrating drama into speaking classes enhances verbal abilities while promoting student autonomy and teamwork. This research adopts a qualitative and quantitative mixed-methods paradigm within the framework. It utilizes an Action Research methodology as it is conducted by a teacher-researcher with the goal of enhancing students’ speaking abilities in an authentic EFL classroom environment. This pre-test aims to assess the existing speaking skills of teenage EFL students before the implementation of drama-based methods. It focuses on oral fluency, confidence, vocabulary usage, and interactive communication via questions and prompts connected to everyday life, social engagement, and descriptions. The present study reveals that, applying drama-based technique demonstrate most of the students gain satisfactory prior knowledge like as: self-confident, security and positive attitude and aptitude when they need to do any exposure, let them in side anxiety, nervous, insecurities.
