Abstract:
Speaking is considered to be the most important skill since it is the first skill that human being acquired but unfortunately it is regarded as an ignored skill in the process of teaching English in Iraqi schools and as a result Iraqi learners are not well prepared to understand the English spoken language. Besides, Iraqi learners do not use their background knowledge to comprehend what was said and they don't have opportunities to practice since there are many schools who don't have laboratories and speaking devises in order to enable the learner to speak and practice. Therefore, teaching speaking skill is the most difficult task since the learner faced difficulties with this skill. this study used three recent techniques for teaching and improving speaking performance . These three techniques, role - play, hot - seating and improvisation. Depending on that , these techniques were chosen to test their effectiveness in teaching speaking performance and literary comprehension . The aim of the study was finding out the impact of using drama techniques in teaching literature on Iraqi EFL learners' speaking performance and literary comprehension. To achieve that , a randomized experimental group(24)students and control group(24)students were selected from a sample of 48 second grade female students from Al - Zahraa' intermediate School for Girls. The study requires one experimental group and one control group. It is hypothesized that : 1. There is no statistically significant difference in speaking performance between the mean scores of the experimental group who is taught literature using drama techniques and that of the control group who is taught literature using the method recommended by the Teacher's Guide. 2. There is no statistically significant difference in literary comprehension between the mean scores of the experimental group who is taught literature using drama techniques and that of the control group who is taught literature using the method recommended by the Teacher's Guide.The samples of the two groups have been statistically equalized according to their age ( year, month, day) , their final scores in the midyear exam, and their fathers and mothers educational level . The obtained results obtained by the statistical work of the data have shown that : - There is no statistically significance difference between the experimental group, taught by role - plays, hot - seating and improvisation technique , and the control group , taught by the recommended method of teaching in speaking performance and literary comprehension . The study also concluded some points, the following are some of them : 1. Implementing recent techniques in teaching language helps to the development and improvement of students' skills , achievement and knowledge that participate in motivating students to be more effective and positive in speaking performance and literary comprehension2. Attracting students in learning makes them more engaged in the process of development. 3.
