This research explores the influence of drama-based learning on students’ English speaking skills within the English Language Education Program at UIN Ar-Raniry Banda Aceh. By incorporating drama techniques such as role-playing and performance into speaking activities, students are provided with meaningful opportunities to enhance their pronunciation, fluency, and self-confidence in authentic communicative contexts. A quantitative research design was employed, utilizing a Likert-scale questionnaire distributed to 33 students from the 2021 cohort who had completed the Literature in English Education course and participated in drama-based projects. The findings demonstrate a generally positive response from students toward the use of drama as a language learning medium. Most participants reported significant improvement in their fluency, pronunciation accuracy, and confidence when speaking English. Additionally, the results indicate that drama activities contribute to increased motivation and engagement in the classroom by creating a dynamic and supportive learning environment. Descriptive statistical analysis, including mean scores and frequency distributions, was conducted using Microsoft Excel to interpret the data. Overall, the study concludes that drama is an effective pedagogical tool for enhancing students’ English speaking skills. It is recommended that educators integrate drama-based activities into speaking and literature lessons to promote communicative competence and foster active learner participation.
