Their video-recorded teaching in a real classroom atmosphere was observed and evaluated by the researcher and two other trainers before and after the workshop to compare how their teaching skills changed based on the intervention. The results of the content analysis of observers notes on MAXQDA program showed that they improved all target teaching skills, but particularly body language, affective atmosphere, and spontaneous decision-making. Additionally, the content analysis of the reflections they kept after each drama session and the drama products including brief discussions during the sessions revealed positive perceptions on drama in teaching, design of drama sessions and video-recorded teaching. Based on these results, it was suggested that drama courses in ELT programs should be revisited. </span> <br> </p> <p> </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="608" colspan="2" style="width:456.3pt;border:solid 1pt;border-top:none;padding:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt;"> <p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;"> <b> <span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us">Information about Author(s)* </span> </b> </p> <p> <b> </b> </p> <b> </b> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="608" colspan="2" style="width:456.3pt;border:solid 1pt;border-top:none;padding:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt;"> <p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;"> <b> <span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us">Author 1 </span> </b> </p> <p> <b> </b> </p> <b> </b> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="243" valign="top" style="width:182.5pt;border:solid 1pt;border-top:none;padding:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt;"> <p class="MsoNormal"> <span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us">Author (Last name, First name) </span> </p> <p> </p> </td> <td width="365" valign="top" style="width:273.8pt;border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid 1pt;border-right:solid 1pt;padding:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt;"> <p class="MsoNormal"> <span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us"> Horasan Doğan, Seçil </span> </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="243" valign="top" style="width:182.5pt;border:solid 1pt;border-top:none;padding:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt;"> <p class="MsoNormal"> <span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us">Affiliated institution (University) </span> </p> <p> </p> </td> <td width="365" valign="top" style="width:273.8pt;border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid 1pt;border-right:solid 1pt;padding:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt;"> <p class="MsoNormal"> <span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us">  </span> <span style="background-color: transparent;">Gazi University </span> </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="243" valign="top" style="width:182.5pt;border:solid 1pt;border-top:none;padding:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt;"> <p class="MsoNormal"> <span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us">Country </span> </p> <p> </p> </td> <td width="365" valign="top" style="width:273.8pt;border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid 1pt;border-right:solid 1pt;padding:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt;"> <p class="MsoNormal"> <span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us"> Turkey </span> </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="243" valign="top" style="width:182.5pt;border:solid 1pt;border-top:none;padding:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt;"> <p class="MsoNormal"> <span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us">Email address </span> </p> <p> </p> </td> <td width="365" valign="top" style="width:273.8pt;border-top:none;border-left:none;border-bottom:solid 1pt;border-right:solid 1pt;padding:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt;"> <p class="MsoNormal"> <span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us">  </span> <span style="background-color: transparent;">secilhorasan@gmail.com </span> </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="243" valign="top" style="width:182.5pt;border:solid 1pt;border-top:none;padding:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt;"> <p class="MsoNormal"> <span lang="en-us" xml:lan}, number={2}, publisher={Hacettepe Üniversitesi} }
