Abstract

Abstract
The main concern of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of online drama approach in improving English majors' oral fluency, intelligibility and reducing speaking anxiety. Adopting a quasi-experimental design, the participants, totaling (40) were selected from EFL first year English Department students at the Faculty of Languages and Translation, Misr University for Science and Technology. To fulfill the purpose of the study, two instruments were required; an EFL oral performance test to measure both fluency and intelligibility and an EFL speaking anxiety scale to measure learners' uneasiness while speaking. The online drama treatment material employed was based on The Lost Secret Series designed and presented by the BBC through Microsoft Teams.  Results revealed that there was a significant difference between the mean scores of the treatment group on the pre and post administrations of the EFL oral performance test and the EFL speaking anxiety scale   in favor of the post administration. They also indicated the effectiveness of using role-play, storytelling and improvisation underlying drama approach in improving English majors' oral fluency, intelligibility and reducing speaking anxiety.
