Abstract

This paper explores the effectiveness of drama and role play activities in improving speaking fluency among EFL (English as a Foreign Language) learners. These interactive methods provide a supportive environment that encourages spontaneous speech, reduces anxiety, and builds communicative competence. The research involved pre- and post-tests, classroom observations, and student feedback to evaluate the impact of drama-based instruction on speaking fluency.
