Abstract: This paper presents perceptions of pre-university students who have participated in a drama performance in an English course. The introduction of drama in foundation level aims at familiarizing the students with the application of English language in the real situation. Drama activity was conducted in the first semester as a preparatory stage for the upcoming public speaking course. In this study, teams of students needed to act out using English language. The study adopted a mixed method design to examine the process undergone by the students in conducting dramas. Data was gathered by means of self–reported questionnaire, semi-structured interviews with the students, and observations in the classroom, and by analyzing students' reports.
