Role-plays
Have students work to expand their dramatic skills when reading dialogues and doing role-plays by conveying the emotion behind the conversation and adding movements or gestures. To take it a step further, students can write their own dialogues and/or memorize their lines with the goal of presenting a short skit in front of the class.
Improvisation
Another way to use drama in the classroom is through improvisation. This spontaneous drama method works well with intermediate to advanced students, giving them a hypothetical situation that they must act out on the spot using their English vocabulary and language skills. For example, give pairs of students a situation involving two people. Try to choose something that could be funny, such as someone dining in a restaurant and getting terrible service. Assign students their roles, and ask them to act the scene out. You can also do improvisation activities with larger groups of students.
