Öz

This research aimed to examine the effect of using role-playing and miming drama techniques in teaching English on the attitudes of 5th- grade students towards the English lessons. For this, 64 5th-grade students from two different classes at a state school in Elazığ were selected through convenience sampling. Pre-test data were obtained from the experimental group and the control group, using the reliability-tested attitude scale of Aydoğmuş (2017). Then, 10-hour lessons in which the selected drama techniques were integrated were applied to the experimental group, while the lessons continued as in the traditional way in the control group. The completion of the application was followed by the application of the same scale to obtain post-test data from both groups. The pre-test and post-test data were analyzed using the mixed-design ANOVA statistical method, and the results indicated that the drama techniques altered 5th-grade students’ attitudes towards English lessons positively.

Keywords: role-playing, miming, drama techniques, student attitude, English teaching

Bu araştırmanın amacı, rol yapma ve taklit drama tekniklerinin İngilizce öğretiminde kullanılmasının 5. sınıf öğrencilerinin İngilizce dersine yönelik tutumları üzerindeki etkisini incelemektir. Bunun için Elazığ ilinde bir devlet okulunda iki farklı sınıftan 64 5. sınıf öğrencisi kolayda örnekleme yoluyla seçilmiştir. Deney grubu ve kontrol grubundan Aydoğmuş (2017)’un güvenirliği test edilmiş tutum ölçeği kullanılarak ön test verileri elde edilmiştir. Daha sonra deney grubuna seçilen drama tekniklerinin entegre edildiği 10’ar saatlik dersler uygulanmış, kontrol grubunda ise dersler geleneksel şekilde devam etmiştir. Uygulama tamamlandıktan sonra aynı ölçek uygulanarak her iki gruptan da son test verileri elde edilmiştir. Ön test ve son test verileri karma desenli ANOVA istatistik yöntemi kullanılarak analiz edilmiş ve sonuçlar drama tekniklerinin 5. sınıf öğrencilerinin İngilizce dersine yönelik tutumlarını olumlu yönde değiştirdiğini göstermiştir.
