    abstract = {We conducted a study on utilizing drama as an exploration of knowledge and learning for primary
schools in teaching English as a Foreign language. The exploration aimed at understanding the student’s
interests, abilities and motivations. Then, we observed the teacher’s perceptions in the classrooms during the
implementation of the drama for the students. In the study, we find that students show their good engagement
and comprehension abilities. However, the perceptions of the teachers varied on the several aspects of the
student’s preparation and performance. Further, their perceptions reflect the pedagogical context offering
possibilities for cultural production in language learning. The research results underline how the drama can be
used to construct the abilities for early language learners, especially, for social engagement and language
comprehension.}
