Analysis of the effectiveness of drama teaching method in oral English teaching in primary schools

ABSTRACT

Drama-based teaching has been gaining increasing attention in English language education, and this study aims to explore its effectiveness in primary school English oral communication. The research adopts a mixed-methods approach including surveys, classroom observation, and interviews with teachers and students. The findings demonstrate that drama-based teaching can improve students' confidence, enthusiasm, and engagement in learning English oral communication. Furthermore, it fosters a positive learning environment where students can freely express themselves and engage with their peers. However, the study also identifies potential challenges such as time constraints and the need for teachers to have sufficient drama-based teaching experience. Overall, this study provides empirical evidence of the positive impact of drama-based teaching in English oral communication education for young learners.
