Educators need to be creative in finding a new approach to motivate students to learn language. The
process of teaching and learning needs to be compatible with students’ interest in order to encourage
them to acquire language effectively. It is quite challenging for educators to find an appropriate method
or teaching strategy that would alleviate students’ motivation to participate actively in teaching and
learning process due to the nature of learner-centered approach that is widely adapted in education
nowadays. This study mainly intends to explore the promising outcome of strengthening students’
speaking skills by integrating drama as part of the learning activities. Drama technique is undoubtedly
one of the most convincing ways which is believed to build students’ confidence in the language thus
improve their speaking ability. For this particular study, a group of international students from Nakhon
Pathom Rajabhat University (NPRU) are selected to give their feedback on the drama activity that was
conducted in class during the Communicative English Course organized by UniMAP. The group of
students were given an opportunity to share their thoughts and views throughout the implementation of
drama activity held in class. Based on the students’ response, the answers have been analyzed thoroughly
and it was found that students have positive and optimistic point of view about incorporating drama to
increase their level of confidence in acquiring language which consequently contribute to improving their
capability in language skills such as speaking, listening, reading and writing more confidently in English.
