Abstract

English drama offers numerous benefits for students. This study aims to identify the aspects of speaking skills enhanced by activities during English drama. By examining 36 respondents, the research employs an explanatory sequential approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. Data on students' perceptions of which speaking aspects are improved by English drama were gathered through questionnaires, supplemented by interviews and narrative inquiry involving 3 students to elaborate on survey findings. The analysis includes descriptive statistics to examine mean values and Denzin's framework theory. The findings indicate that the aspects of vocabulary and pronunciation in speaking show a significant increase, comprehension shows a significant improvement, while fluency is the speaking aspect that shows a slight increase. In terms of situational factors, the findings highlight that continuous practice, both during drama activities and outside of them, greatly influences students' speaking aspects. Additionally, the practical application of knowledge gained through English drama also aids students in enhancing their speaking skills. Keyword: English Drama, Speaking Skills, Students’ Voice
