Mejorando la comunicación oral a través de técnicas de drama
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effect of using Drama Techniques to support oral communication in the English language. The research was conducted with a sample of 62 students from General Cordova Educational Unit, all in their eighth year. A quasi-experimental design was employed, dividing the participants into a control group (32 students) and an experimental group (30 students). The study utilized a standardized test from Cambridge, specifically focusing on the speaking section, as the assessment instrument. The research employed SPSS Statistics to compare the means between the control and experimental groups. The control group received traditional language instruction, while the experimental group was exposed to Drama Techniques as an additional method to enhance their oral communication skills in English. The Drama Techniques included role-playing and improvisation, stimulating students' participation and creativity. The findings revealed a significant improvement in oral communication skills among students in the experimental group compared to those in the control group. The use of Drama Techniques positively influenced students' confidence, fluency, pronunciation, and overall communicative abilities in English. The results obtained through the standardized test demonstrated the effectiveness of Drama Techniques as a supportive tool to develop oral communication skills.
