ABSTRACT

Modern education strongly emphasizes fostering students' holistic development, with a dual focus on nurturing character and talent. There has been a growing trend in domestic and international research on how drama influences language learning in recent years. Existing research has discovered that drama effectively enhances students' language skills, boosts their learning motivation, facilitates cognitive development, and enhances their humanistic literacy. Based on previous experiences, this study seeks to investigate methods of selecting and adapting scene-based short drama scripts for senior high school English teachers. Its goal is to provide insights into their daily teaching practices.
