Sumari:The teaching of English as a Foreign Language has been generally focused on traditional methods as repetition and memorization. As a result, students do not feel motivated to learn English. For this reason, we have chosen this topic focusing on the need of applying innovative techniques in the teaching of English as a foreign language. We want to show the importance of using Drama in the classroom. Also we want to remark on the importance of creating a welcoming environment when EFL. The success of foreign language teaching depends on the methodology that the teacher applies. In this way, we intend to focus on listening and speaking skills, students can get involved in different situations and develop the different skills using Drama activities. Thus, we believe that the compilation of proper activities for both speaking and listening can actually help students develop them successfully.
