Abstract

Role-play pedagogy has been implemented in higher education in various fields with varied procedures. Its ability to foster language learning and certain soft-skills has been investigated in myriad of studies. The current study investigated five EFL students? experiences and their perception of those experiences to seek for deeper understanding of their learning. The study took place in an English Department in a university in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The data for this qualitative research were taken by in-depth interviews through online video calls. The finding is categorized into four themes. The first theme, rehearsal aspect, talks about the students? experience that seems to have a connection to their perception of the simulated play and a real-life situation. The second theme is related to students? preparedness and their action of assessing themselves. The third finding talks about students? experience in improvising in the role-play and how it makes them feel. Lastly, decision making becomes one of the theme emerging in the data. Two conclusions can be drawn from these finding, namely, that role-play can be a place for self-recognition, and that its preparation can be the key to shape the students? experience and perception.

Abstract

 This study is an attempt to explore the teachers? views on their participation in the English Drama Performance (EDP). Employing a qualitative approach, this study was conducted by selecting three English teachers from three different levels of education, who have been taking part in the EDP for a minimum of two performances. Data were collected through a one-on-one interview with each participant. The finding revealed that the teachers, at first were doubtful in participating in the EDP, however, after many rehearsals, they found enjoyment. In addition to their feelings, the teachers expressed their likes and dislikes in participating the EDP too. They also mentioned about the effect of their participation in the EDP towards their English skills. It turned out that by participating in the EDP, the teachers can express the English language function, enhance their pronunciation skill, practice communication skill, ease reading, and improve vocabulary. In addition to the effect on their English skills, their participation in the EDP contributes to the way they teach English to their students.            Keywords: drama in education, English drama performance, teachers? view
