영문 초록

Drama can be an effective tool in foreign language education. However, instructors may refrain from applying dramatic methods in class because of the theatrical production skills to be taught in a limited time. Creative Drama can be a solution that integrates dramatic methods even as it teaches and practices language skills. Distinct from "Educational Theatre," which is a product-oriented activity, "Creative Drama" is process-oriented and can be flexibly implemented into the existing language curriculum. In this study, Creative Drama is offered as an effective teaching methodology for intermediate level school students in the foreign language classroom in Korea, to improve students' oral language competency. The suggested teaching model is designed for actual implementation into the foreign language classroom to enhance students' oral proficiency in a limited class time frame. The teaching model consists of three progressive stages: simple dramatic roleplays, script-based role-plays and lengthier Creative Drama. From my teaching experience, Creative Drama can successfully integrate with the existing language curriculum not only to improve oral proficiency but also to promote students' reading and writing skills concurrently. Creative Drama offers multiple benefits - academic, social and cultural - and deserves serious consideration for further implementation in the Korean foreign language curriculum.
