Abstract

In the digital era, it has become simply impossible not to think of school as an integrating part of the changing world. The latest trends in the field of teaching abound in innovative computer-based methods. But still, communication is the very basis of studying a foreign language. Thus, an extremely efficient way to stimulate communication remains the implementation of drama-based activities, an approach that remains successful in terms of language acquisition and practice even today, in the modern world. This article is meant to encourage teachers of English to continue to insert drama in the classes for the numerous benefits it brings to students.
