Abstract
Phonetics is the study of sounds to read letters correctly. It can also be defined as the ease of communication, if theory and practice both agree about the communicative function when learning a foreign language. Drama has been used in language teaching as a creative tool that motivates and lowers the anxiety level of the learners. This paper seeks the effectiveness of using drama in the teaching of phonetics in an EFL setting. After using drama in education in the teaching of pronunciation, the results show that students are more successful in acquiring the sound system compared with traditional teaching.
Keywords: Phonetics, EFL, ELT, drama, learning through drama.
