Radio Drama for Speaking Practice
Maiullo, Jonathan
English Teaching Forum, v56 n2 p16-25 2018
In cultures where there is a danger of losing face by making a mistake, students prefer activities in which their errors may not be so apparent. The speaking skill is challenging for language learners, necessitating activities that support oral interaction in the classroom. The adaptable radio drama activities presented in this article promote student collaboration in a low-stress environment that encourages speaking and integrates reading, writing, and listening skills as well.
