The reduction of speaking anxiety in EFL learners through drama
techniques

The study on drama and anxiety reduction was conducted with 24, 12th grade students at a high school in Kozan,
Turkey.
The word drama is originally derived from the Greek word dran which means “to do, to act.” Action is an
essential part of learning a language, as it develops body language, increases motivation, and keeps students
involved in the learning process (Miccoli, 2003; Gorjian, Moosavinia, & Jabripour, 2010).
In conclusion, all foreign language teachers need to motivate their students; encourage them to speak; and
to allow them to make mistakes without punishment.
