Abstract

Drama education is being used more and more in standard primary schools in Hong Kong to teach English. This method uses the history of how English education has changed over time to show its pros and cons. When used as a teaching tool, drama provides an immersive language environment, boosts speaking skills, and makes learning more fun and interactive. It also fixes problems with the way things are taught now. But it's hard to put into practice because there isn't a structured curriculum system and people are used to studying for tests. Even with these problems, drama education has a lot of promise to lead to changes in education and better results in teaching English in Hong Kong. To get past these problems and make the most of the effects of theater pedagogy, researchers and teachers must keep learning and researching. Together, teachers and policymakers can make it easier for new ways of teaching to be incorporated into the regular program.
