Drama can be a very useful resource for English teachers who want to give their students a context for meaningful language production and practice. The real purpose of language acquisition cannot be taught through explanation, but has to be learned through experience.
This PowerPoint presentation explains very briefly why English teachers should use role-play and drama in their classrooms and gives a few tips on how to do this.
It is all a matter of starting, and soon you will see how the children are more confident speakers, whilst their level of motivation towards learning english will increase since they will find it personally rewarding and fulfilling.
If you want to read more about children's motivation and learning, I recommend this article in the NASP Website (National Association of School Psychologists).
