Abstract
Drama in Education (DIE) is believed to play a especially positive role in helping
students in primary and secondary schools to form language awareness and develop
language abilities. It has gradually formed its own script structure characteristics in the
practice of local English teaching. By analyzing the scripts of 31 dramas staged by
three local schools in the English culture and drama festivals, this paper summarizes
the implementation characteristics of DIE from the aspects of story source, script
source, students’ involvement, and theme distribution. In addition, this paper also
analyzes the script structure favored by local teachers and students from four stages:
the beginning, the development, the climax and the ending, which will greatly help
solve the problem of drama creation for primary and secondary school teachers and
students, and improve their enthusiasm to implement DIE in English classroom.
