<p>Drama is seen as an effective way to improve<br>
young learners communication skills while<br>
enabling them a creative and authentic<br>
atmosphere. Teachers may help children by<br>
setting up a classroom in which many students<br>
enjoy creative activities such as drama. With<br>
the help of drama activities, students of young<br>
age can find it easy to produce the target<br>
language and participate in the activity<br>
willingly. The main aim of the study is to<br>
indicate the usefulness of drama activities for<br>
young learners of ESL in speaking classes. The<br>
study was conducted on 48 participants from<br>
7th grade students at a private secondary<br>
school in Ankara. A qualitative study was<br>
conducted to find out whether dramatic<br>
activities are helpful for young learners of EFL<br>
in speaking classrooms through teacher's<br>
diaries, video tapes and interviews. To achieve<br>
3 lesson plans were designed in a 6 week<br>
period, and each of the dramatic activities and<br>
the attitudes of students were observed. The<br>
results of this study aimed to prove that<br>
dramatic activities are helpful for young<br>
learners in speaking classrooms.</p>
