Resumen
Oral expression is one of the difficult skills that students must master in English. In oral expression classes, students have several problems, such as a lack of enthusiasm and motivation when speaking. This study explores the effectiveness of using dramatization to develop oral skills in second-semester language students. Dramatization, which involves active participation and emotional involvement, offers a unique and compelling method for improving language proficiency. Using thematic dramatizations has many advantages, one of which is encouraging students to speak. This study will use a mixed method to collect data. The results show that the teaching technique of dramatization can significantly improve students' oral expression skills in the classroom.
