Summary/Abstract: This article introduces the concept of drama grammar, rooted in drama pedagogy, which fosters holistic, action-oriented learning in foreign language classrooms. By embedding grammar instruction in simulated, real-life scenarios, drama grammar transforms abstract content into engaging, motivating experiences. After outlining the theoretical background, the article presents applicable staging techniques and a structured teaching model with defined phases. A classroom example on the positioning of accusative and dative objects illustrates the approach. The article concludes by highlighting its pedagogical benefits, particularly regarding learner motivation, communicative competence, and long-term grammar retention.
