been increased all over the world Many researches have been carried out to investigate its benefits on students‟ learning English However, very little empirical research has been conducted to evaluate advantages that the Project brings to students The aims of the study were therefore investigating the ways that English Drama Project impacts on students‟ natural speaking skill and their contribution to their team work Two groups of students were taught speaking by two different methods: one group was taught in a traditional way and the other was taught with a company of English Drama Project Two groups were assessed in the same way after a five-week experiment Results of the assessment showed significant differences in the two groups: the group taught with English Drama Project got better results for the speaking test and better involvement in their teamwork It is suggested that English Drama Project should be taught to all students whose major is English at Thai Nguyen School of Foreign Languages Key words: English Drama Project, natural speaking skill, teamwork iii TABLES OF CONTENTS DECLARATION………………………………………………………………………….I ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ii ABSTRACT iii TABLES OF

learning a language, speaking is one of the most important language skills since it is the most common and important means of providing communication among human beings The key to successful communication is speaking nicely, efficiently and articulately, as well as using effective voice projection, speaking is linked to success in life, as it occupies an important position both individually and socially (Ulas, 2008) When learners are engaged in group work, they can learn by exchanging information with other group mates in a socially structured way Learners will be not only responsible for their own learning but also able to learn from each other (Olsen & Kagan, 1992, Breen & Littlejohn, 2000) Littlewood also shows that most learners favor “learning contexts in which they work together with others towards common goals and in which their success also benefits others” (Littlewood, 2002, p.38) Many investigations on the advantages and benefits that educational drama activities bring to students in English Language Teaching (ELT) classes have been conducted over the world for a few last decades In 1969, Hoetker stated that drama increases creativity, orginality, sensitivity, fluency, flexibility, emotional stability, cooperation and examination of mortal attitudes while developing communication skills (Hoetker, 1969) Ratliff (2001) indicates that Drama enhances students‟ reading, writing and listening skills Davies and Pearse (2002) agree with Hoetker by stating that drama is a way of encouraging students to improve their communication skills It can not be denied that drama brings students chances to improve not only their language skills namely listening, speaking, reading and writing but also their creativity, sensitivity, flexibility, emotional stability, cooperation In other words, drama activities can help students to learn language well (Bas, 2008) Even though English Drama Project (EDP) has been applied in EFL classes over the world for quite a long time, it seems to be pretty new in Vietnam Thai Nguyen School of Foreign Languages (TNSFL) is one of the leading institutions in Vietnam who has been implementing EDP as one of the studying projects in the curriculum and the project is likely highly interested in by most of students since the Project helps them much in building speaking skill and group working However, there
