Abstract
Drama aktivitelerinin yaratıcı ve
doğal bir atmosfer sağlayarak çocuk yaştaki öğrencilerin iletişim becerilerinin
geliştirmede etkin bir metot olduğu görülmektedir. Öğretmenler sınıflarında
çocukların drama gibi hoşlarına gidebilecek bir öğrenme ortamı yaratarak
onların yabancı dil öğrenimine katkıda bulunabilirler. Drama sayesinde küçük
yaştaki öğrenciler söz konusu aktivitelere istekli olarak katılarak hedef dili
daha rahat üretebilirler. Bu araştırmanın temel amacı drama aktivitelerinin
çocuk yaştaki öğrencilerin konuşma derslerindeki kullanışlılığını ortaya
koymaktır. Bu çalışma Ankara'da bulunan bir özel okuldaki 48 adet 7 inci sınıf
öğrencisi üzerinde yapılmıştır. Drama aktivitelerinin çocukların konuşma
derslerinde İngilizce öğrenimine katkısı olup olmadığı bir niteliksel araştırma
yöntemi ile öğretmen günlüğü, video kayıtları ve görüşmeler vasıtasıyla
yapılmıştır. Bu amaca yönelik olarak 6 hafta boyunca uygulanacak olan 3 ders
programı dizayn edilmiş ve öğrencilerin drama aktivitelerine yönelik tavırları
bu zaman zarfında araştırmacı tarafından gözlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, bu çalışma
drama aktivitelerinin çocukların konuşma derslerine olumlu katkıda bulunduğunu
kanıtlamaktadır.
