Students are often asked to take part in plays and drama by their language teachers or lecturers. There are many mixed opinions related to this topic at hand. There are mainly two opinions related to this topic. One group believes that taking part in plays and dramas does help the students but there is another group that believes the opposite. They claim that taking part in dramas and plays is a complete waste of time and does not nurture the growth of students in any way possible. I as an undergraduate student strongly believe that students have to take part in plays and dramas as it helps them grow in a way they won’t be able to grow otherwise. How is this possible u may ask? Many people view plays and dramas in a negative light. People who take part in dramas are people who have nothing better to do in life, this is an opinion that many people have . This are all baseless opinions stated by many clueless people. When one takes part in a play or drama they will play an important figure, for example Shakespeare. When one plays as Shakespeare or any other prominent figure they will view the world in those persons view in ,other words the students that take part in plays and drama will be able to view the world in a new light that eluded them before this. Students that never understood the beauty of poetry may come to love it after playing Shakespeare as they go deeper into the world of poetry as they portray Shakespeare. Another relevant point that supports my opinion is when one takes part in a drama or play they also learn many new words that they would rarely learn otherwise. This will improve their vocabulary and possibly give them a deeper understanding on the complex language of English and many others. This is why I believe that lecturers and teachers asking students to take part in dramas and plays is a very good and necessary step to encourage the students growth especially in the field of language.

As an undergraduate, I agree that the use of drama in language classes can bring positive effects to students. This is due to the reason that the involvement of language classes can improve the speaking skill of the students. If a group of students want their drama to get a high mark and good comment, they will practice every day. For example, they will learn how to speak a more accurate tone for the language so that they can pronounce the word clearly. Besides, they will practice many times for the script in order to speak the language fluently. If the student can speak the language fluently, they will more confidence. They will also be more courage to communicate with others.  Furthermore, the use of drama as an assignment of the students can help them to improve their vocabulary. When students are writing the script of the drama, they may face some problems like lf they don’t understand the word, they will go and find the meaning of the word. Through this, their vocabulary can be increased.

In conclusion, the involvement of drama in language classes can bring benefits to students and affect them positively.

However, there are students who disagree and see the involvement of drama/play unnecessary for course assessment. As an undergraduate, I agree that the use of drama in language classes can positively affect students. Firstly, student can develop their communicative skills by involving themselves in drama. Drama allows students to communicate and understand others in an effective ways. For example, students who participate in drama activities, they may not have difficulty to speak in the public and will be more persuasive in their communication. Besides, students will learn how to work together with their group members through drama in the language classes. This is because drama need the involvement of 5-7 person to accomplish it. When students conduct their drama, it is definitely a group work. For instance, students will respect their group member by listening and not interrupting while their group members are providing their opinions in order to prevent conflict from happening. They will also contribute their own ideas to the group. As a result, drama is a significant tool for preparing students to live and work in the world that is increasingly team-oriented rather than hierarchical. In a nutshell, students can cooperate well with others in the future.

As an undergraduate, I think that the use of drama in language classes can increase our imagination. Being creative and learning to make creative choices helps students to be better at thinking of new ideas, allowing them to view the world around them in new ways. For example, student will play characters such as shakespeare and many more. When they potray themselves as somoone else they might find many new views on the world that eluded them previously because they were stuck in the tought of an ordinary undergraduate student.

Students are often assigned to put up a drama or a play as part of their course assessment by their language lecturers. However, there are students who disagree and see the involvement of drama/play unnecessary for course assessment. As an undergraduate, I agree that drama or a play act an important role in students’ course assessment as students will gain some positively things. Firstly,using drama enables students to use English appropriately in real conversations, expressing emotions and ideas and listening to the feelings and ideas of their peers. In other words, English is taught in the context in which it will be used, which is far removed from lists of vocabulary and work-sheets and which makes students aware of the language.Apart from that, the drama will also help student to raise up their awareness of the important of teamwork as the drama need collaboration and cooperation to make it successful.Most drama activities require students to work together to create and produce the scene, improvisation, script, interview, or story dramatization. They work together as actors, directors, playwrights, audience, and even as critics who help one another design and deliver something that an individual cannot accomplish alone.Lastly,the drama help student to build up their confidence or self-esteem. Aspects of performing arts, especially improvisation, helps young people to understand how to appraise situations, think outside the box and be more confident going into unfamiliar situations. Students learn to  trust their ideas and abilities. Confidence gained from learning performing arts skills applies to school, career, and life.

Students are often assigned to put up a drama or a play as part of their course assessment by their language lecturers. However, there are students who disagree and see the involvement of drama/play unnecessary for course assessment. As an undergraduate, the use of drama in language classes can truly affect students. Why is this say so. Firstly, using drama in language classes can increase or develop listening and speaking skills. For examples, a lecture can have an activities to perform the use of drama in their course. This an account of speaking can have the ability to verbally express one's thoughts in a clear manner. On the other hand, listening must have the able to hear speech and process the meaning. That is why using drama in language classes will affect the students. Next, using drama as a course can fully contextualized acquisition of new vocabulary and structure to a student. This may help the student to explore in the language classes while the lecture will take less dominant role. Using drama as part of their course assessment by language lecturer can provide students an opportunity to develop the imagination. This will let student to express their own ideas. For example, drama can be used to increase their critical thinking and problem solving skills. Moreover, drama can be used to bring literature to life for a student.When the students are having fun, they let their second language guard down and become less inhibited. They will forgot the hardness of leaning and start absorbing the new ideas. In a conclusion,it is a good opinion to have a drama as a course assessment by a language lecture.

As we discussed, drama can be effective way to improve students's learning in language class. However, there are students who do not like this class style. For example, students who are not interesting such a entertainment, students who have their own way to learn language, and so on.I am going to mention about those students, and I am going to conclude that how the use of drama can affect students.
First, there are students who are not interested in drama or acting. Some students feel difficulty in remembering and reciting script of other language. On the other hand, students who feel troublesome to making a drama in class because of boring story or lack of quality. If teacher conducted drama in language class with disregarding those students's statement, they would fed up with not only class but also learning language.
Moreover, some students have their own suitable way to learning language. For those students, to learn language through drama is detour to learn. If students have already established own method, teacher and school should not break it.
Thus, drama is not suitable for all students in language class. There may be class that can improve through drama, but there is a class which is difficult to do it. Therefore, that problem using drama or not depends on teacher's judgement that his/her class is appropriate to using drama or not.

In my opinion, i think drama develops verbal and nonverbal communication.Through different characters, students share the opportunity to expand their problem solving skills both verbally and non-verbally, making room for a sense of creativity. As well, students practice and build upon various communication skills through the use of body language, facial expressions and different voices. Beside that,  I think drama can enhance students’ psychological well-being. This is because under different characters, students can express their true feelings or sense of personality without fear of being judged or criticized. They can work on personal issue or solve personal problems while in character, which can simply help their overall well being. Essentially, what this does is allow students to get things off their mind, further releasing emotion and tension and allowing students to be who they are. Lastly,  drama engages students in creative problem-solving and decision making.Deep experiences through drama guides and supports student’s problem solving skills, while at the same time, works to encourage an increasing awareness in how to solve issues at hand. Instead of school just being a place where students are being taught and told what to think and feel, drama turns this into a deeper experience in thinking, further motivating students to question, respond, and explain what they are feeling and thinking.

In my opinion, I think that drama classes will help improve their children’s English ability, especially in speaking and listening skills. For example, a high school teacher covering a unit of Shakespeare's Hamlet could have students act out specific scenes from the play. The fact that the language in such a play is difficult will actually help promote the importance of clear expression and sharp listening. Besides, drama classes will also helps learners gain the confidence and self-esteem needed to use English. Learning by doing means that students are engaged in drama to learn language in a natural way, using body language and facial expressions, making pauses and interruptions, and showing emotions in their interpretations of the play. When this process is rewarded on stage, the sense of accomplishment and the confidence that students feel will have positive effects on English learning in general. Lastly, as for the linguistic advantage, it is known that drama helps learners with pronunciation, vocabulary, and fluency in particular.

In my opinion, I would say that drama plays ARE very important for young people like undergraduate its where they get to build self confidence , imagination, fun and communication skills. Self confidence is very important for young people because It will help young people to understand how to appraise situations, think outside the box and be more confident going into unfamiliar situations. Undergraduate will learn to  trust their ideas and abilities. Confidence gained from learning performing arts skills like drama and etc. Undergraduate  will also develop good imagination skills since they need to imagine idea and and ways to present it. Drama not only brings misery to young people but sometimes its brings joy , humour, and laughter to those taking part in it and let them release stress as they have fun through drama. Lastly, undergraduate will develop  a strong sense of communication skills where they get to learn and improves vocal projection, tone of speech and expression. Importantly is also develops listening and observation skills.

Students are often assigned to put up a drama or a play as part of their course assessment by their language lecturers. However, there are students who disagree and see the involvement of drama/play unnecessary for course assessment. As an undergraduate, I firmly agree that the use of drama in language classes can bring positive effects to students because it can improve the learners’ language ability and help them to gain self-confidence. Firstly, I agree that the use of drama in language classes can bring positive effects to students because it can improve the learners’ language ability, especially in speaking. Students not only can learn the language by reading the script and listen to other’s people’s lines from the drama in their classes, but also play their roles and involve in it. During the process, the three main keys to master the language which are reading, listening and speaking are developed on the students. For example, in Korea, many parents send their children to English drama classes after school. This is because they believe that the classes will help their children to study English effectively and pronounce the words accurately. The pronunciation of words is vital as if we mispronounce words, others may misinterpret or not understand our messages’ meaning. Moreover, drama or play in class will also help students to gain their self-confidence. Many people are afraid of speaking in their second language especially English when they feel that they are not familiar with the language. Students can be taught with language in natural way, body language and facial expressions though performing the role play. For instance, when a student take part in a drama which brings elements of humor and laughter, he or she might not feel so panic and would be more confident and relax on the spot. It will also give motivation to the student to complete the performance. In conclusion, drama in language classes can give positive effect to students. Hence, students should be active in involving for the drama assignment.

In my opinion, drama plays essential role in language classes. Learning language through drama is interesting as it is a fresh method to improve students’ reading, writing and speaking skill. As the actress in a drama, they must have the ability of role-play so the characters can be performed well. Speaking is an important part in role-play so the audiences can more understand the scenario of drama. For example, students need to learn speak a tone in a certain scenario, and pronounce the word perfectly. Besides, students also can promote their reading comprehension though the drama. They may analysis and find out the background and character in the story. Furthermore, students may enhance their writing skill through drama. For example, students interpret the short story into a drama by writing a script.

As an undergraduate student, I think that the use of drama in language classes can affect students in developed speaking skill. Communication are very important in our daily life. We must learn how to speak before we can communicate with other people. During drama presentation, student can learn to speaking. For example, student play role as waiters, policemen, and parents, they memorize, improvise, watch, listen, move, and rehearse like actors. It provides opportunity to practice their speaking skill.
Student were assigned to say the dialogues in different tones. This activity will helps in familiarizing with language intonation as well as improve their speaking skill.

As an undergraduate, I opine that include a drama as part of course assessment in language class will benefit students in several ways. First of all, a drama is able to assist students in building up or gaining their self-confidence. Students who lack of self-confidence or shy will always refuse to present themselves in front of others. When drama is part of the course assessment, students are required and obligated to present in front of others. This may not only help students in gaining self-confidence but also improving their communication skills. Effective communication skill is crucial, no matter in daily negotiations or business environment. This can help us to create a good working relationship with colleagues in order to achieve job efficiency as well as avoid conflicts. Besides that, normally the drama need to be acted in the form of group. This can not only enhance the strong and tough relationship among students as well as get students’ awareness in the importance of teamwork. Last but not least, presenting a drama will also stimulate students’ creativity. In such a competitive environment, it is very important to inspire students in terms of creativity and adaptability, so students are able face and solve different difficulties or issues creatively and effectively.

In my opinion, i think that students are often assigned to put up a drama or a play as part of their course assessment by their language lecturers is because this can bring positive outcome for them to learn even more effectively through the drama or a play. As an example, due to drama or a play, each of the student require to act and this acting will lead them to speak more confidently due to the arrangement of the drama that which take place with their own friend. Moreover, this will not just build up their self confidence but also can improve their language. In addition, this situation can also help the lecturers to understand or know how well is the student are doing in their learning process or their spoken language is it fluent, average or poor. Drama can also help student to improve on their communication skills such as the verbal and non-verbal communication. As we know that, verbal and non-verbal communication can also help student to improve on their vocal projection, tone of speech and expression. That is why a drama or a play have been assigned to help student through their learning process more effectively.

However, there are students who disagree and see the involvement of drama or play unnecessary for course assessment. As an undergraduate, I think that the use of drama help learners provide an opportunity to develop the imagination of the students. For example, the students can go beyond there and now and even 'walk in the shoes' of one another.

It provides an opportunity for independent thinking . Students are encouraged to express their own ideas and contribute to the whole.  Creative drama will offer exercises in critical thinking and the chance for the students to be creative. A good example of this is role-plays in small groups.  The ESL/EFL group will have many situations where they can develop their own ideas as well as skills of cooperation when interacting with classmates.  The group work builds social awareness and understanding as we walk in the 'shoes of another'. Drama gives an excellent method for studying human nature and working in harmony. The play acting provides the opportunity for a healthy release of emotion in a safe setting which can work to relieve the tension of learning in a second language.

By using drama in the English classroom, we can use English with our students in intriguing and useful ways. The language can be used in context and makes it come to life.  Drama has the potential of making the learning experience fun for the students and even memorable because it is interactive and visual.

However, there are students who disagree and see the involvement of drama/play unnecessary for course assessment. As an undergraduate, I slightly agree that the use of drama in language classes can
affect the students. In my opinion,  drama activities can offer a variety of pluses that directly contribute to the student’s learning experience rather than a traditional learning class. Firstly, the drama activities in language classroom is to combine verbal and non-verbal communication. For instance, the drama activities can help the students to connect the verbal communication that involved in vocabulary, grammar and structure with the non-verbal communication of gestures, facial expressions and movement. Otherwise, the drama activities can make the student have more interesting to learn the language when reading the script and speak the language out according to the script rather than the students get bored sitting in their seats, looking at the board, taking notes and reading from the text although they can’t always get away from these activities in language class, but the drama activities can alleviate the potential for boredom of the traditional language class. Moreover, the drama activities also will increase the student's motivation to participate more in class. Lastly, the drama activities in class can build the students' self-esteem and also their self-confidence. For example, the student has an opportunity to share his ideas through drama. Over time, the student begins to see his/her worth within the classroom, within the school, and consequently in the world as well.

We can sum up the benefits of drama in language teaching.The acquisition of meaningful, fluent interaction in the target language.The assimilation of a whole range of pronunciation and prosodic features in a fully contextualized and interactional manner.The fully contextualized acquisition of new vocabulary and structure.

Drama puts the teacher in the role of supporter in the learning process and the students can take more responsibility for their own learning.  Ideally, the teacher will take a less dominant role in the language class and let the students explore the language activities.  In the student centered classroom, every student is a potential teacher for the group.

Students are often assigned to put up a drama or a play as part of their course assessment by their language lecturers. However, there are students who disagree and see the involvement of drama/play unnecessary for course assessment.The "performance" of the teacher is important, but use of drama within the curriculum as a tool for delivering content through creative dramatics is a set of skills that can be learned by anyone. It is a method by which students can begin to incorporate performance skills, such as described in the previous post, into their communication tools. As an undergraduate, I agree with the use of drama in language classes can affect students.When engaged in an interesting hobby or activity, many students react in a positive way to their enviroment. Drama teaches self control and how to control ones emotion or at times explore that emotion to get to the root of the real problem. For the example, when students are in a situation where they feel they can be free and allow themselves the room to express themselves, they are calmer in certain situations and react differently in a way they might have not in the past. Apart from that, I think that drama  makes the student more aware of their surroundings and themselves. They have a deeper appreciation for learning on a new level. They often don't realize that they are being changed until the change occurs and they are ususlly proud of that change. Brief, the use of drama can help the student become the person that he/she wants to be.

As an undergraduate, the use of drama in language class can bring positive influence to the students by creating scenarios that bring students ‘outside the classroom’ can fulfill teaching goals that might not otherwise be possible. For instance, students can easily process any complex or argumentative topics through enacting the roles of people from history or with views that differ from their own. If standard debates have become out-of-date in class, a more multifaceted skit can offer a way to obtain new perspectives on complex issues such as genetically modified organisms, the use of military force, abortion debates and many others. Furthermore, employing drama can also enable students and their language lecturers to break out of their standard patterns by holding a debate ‘in character’ so that students may critique each other. Besides, students can also explore multiple outcomes and evaluate choices they make along the way. Therefore, put up a drama or a play as part of their course assessment by their language lecturers definitely is a good choice and it will help those language lecturers to push the boundaries of traditional teaching methods and reach their teaching goals.
