Abstract
This is the report of the Japanese lessons through creating a drama. In my opinion, by using the process of creating a theatrical drama, i.e. writing a scenario, memorizing the lines and performing it in front of an audience, students can learn many aspects of Japanese language, namely, writing, reading, listening and speaking. The drama itself is an effective way for students to discover new words and phrases, to correct their mistakes and errors, and practice fluent speech. The process of creating a drama with classmates is also a good language activity, because they have to interact and co-operate with each other. To do this they must discuss, negotiate, and proceed using their Japanese language skills. Ultimately, when the students complete their drama and perform it in front of an audience, they will have learned a great deal of language material while having fun, and feel a deep satisfaction and fulfillment.
