Abstract

In this study, we introduce a new method to perform educational drama in the classroom. Different from conventional drama in that the actors are performing in the scene and facing the audience so that the actors cannot see the performances of themselves. We develop a digital educational drama stage. The actors can see, face, and perform the scene and can see their performance in the digital scene like a mirror room. Other classmates can see their performing on the screen. The educational drama method is applied on English as a Second Language course in fifth grade students of a local primary school. In the beginning two months, 2 teachers and 2 classes with 62 students used our approach. After that, the two teachers reported that the students are more engaged and concentrated on the learning activities of the drama than conventional educational drama they used before. According to the interviews, teachers suggested applying digital educational drama stage to the fifth grade due to improving concentration in class.
