摘要

The study on drama and anxiety reduction was conducted with 24, 12thgrade students at a high school in Kozan, Turkey. The triangulation of the data was established with pre and post-tests, semi-structured pre and post-interviews, and student diaries. The teacher's reflections strengthened the qualitative aspect of the study. After six weeks of language and drama training, the drama techniques significantly lowered the speaking anxiety of EFL learners.
