Abstract	The current study used a drama technique to teach a speaking course to second-level English Department students. The primary goal of language learning is to be able to communicate effectively in the target language with excellent self-confidence. The research was conducted using an action research methodology within a qualitative research framework. A total of 30 second-year undergraduate students at the proposed institution participated in the research as sample. Observation, interview, audio-video recordings, and researcher diary were used to collect data. Content analysis was used to examine the information gathered. Results of the study revealed that using drama technique to teach English as a foreign language has a substantial impact on the acquisition of fluent speaking abilities and results in beneficial improvements in the target audience's communication skills.
