    Teaching students speaking through drama can be
    successful if teachers and students make preparation of

    teacher cannot achieve the goal of teaching speaking
    through drama.
    Preparation prior to performing drama is important
    since in this stage students are asked to share their
    opinion, ideas about the drama performance they are
    about to perform. Thus, the students are encouraged
    to make effective talk in classroom. By doing so, the
    teachers have inseminate their willingness/ desire
    rather than requirement to talk.
    Starting Out the Drama
    Teachers can use several method/ tools/
    media in making preparation of the drama
    performance such as:
    1. Using Story as a starting point
    2. Using Photograph and Paintings
    3. Using Poem
    4. Using Games
    Using Story as The Starting Point
    Here are some steps of preparing drama using
    story as the starting point:
    1. Give clues about the story that you are going to read
    to give the students prior knowledge towards the
    story.
    2. Make the children engage in listening to your story
    by letting them guess/ create the end of the story.
    3. After reading the story ask the students to discuss
    about the plot (by asking the students to retell the
    story) characters, the setting of place and time, and
    other elements of the drama.
    Using Story as The Starting Point
    4. Ask the students to determine the characters
    (who wants to be someone/ something as
    portrayed in the story)
    5. Ask students to prepare the dialogue
    corresponds to the characters they played. The
    teacher should give advice to the students in
    making the dialogue.
    6. Ask the students to think when and where they
    want to perform the drama.
    Using Story as The Starting Point
    8. Finally, ask the students to practice
    the drama, make rehearsal before
    performance, and the last, perform the drama
    on stage.
