Summary/Abstract: The need for conversing is always present in the teaching-learning process of EFL. Teachers must be able to help students develop their conversational competence in the target language. This dramatic game means that the participants can improvise dialogues to fit an already described situation and perform it. The teacher should design three stages: play reading, paraphrasing the play, and performing the dramatic game. To simulate real-life situations, students will begin to think in English without noticing it. They cross the bridge and speak easily. It is the teacher who will experiment, try new methods, and be fearless about having fun.
