Learning English through drama is one of the attractive and the effective strategies in teaching language as second language. Drama gives a context for listening and meaningful language production, forcing learners to use their language resources and enhancing their linguistic abilities. It also provides situations for reading and writing. It is very useful in teaching literary texts as it helps in analyzing plot, character and style. It also involves learners more positively and actively in the text. Taylor (2000) stated that drama techniques can satisfy primary needs of language learning in that they can create motivation, enhance confidence, and provide context in learning. The performance of drama would be more lively, natural and colorful when it is supported with technology. Technology can play an active role in revitalizing classes through helping students and teachers to feel interested in the subject matter, engaging students in the learning process, and giving students and teachers’ access to the world outside the classroom (Gilroy, 1998). The study was an action research with the subjects of 100 students of Accounting Department of the State Polytechnic of Malang. The result showed that there was a great improvement on the students’ motivation in learning English.
