This article describes how a collaborative drama project could enhance twenty-seven undergraduate students in the sixth semester of the English education study program of a small private college in Cimahi, West Java, Indonesia. Drama, which could be considered a literary exposure for the participants, is one subject being taught as intracurricular activities for 3 credit hours per semester, where they took the subject for the whole semester. The final assignment for this subject is a collaborative drama project in the English language. The article summarises the benefits of using collaborative drama activities to enhance the participants’ English language skills and offers recommendations for the implementation of similar projects for other language instructors. Further, the challenges of organizing collaborative English language drama projects at the college will be outlined. As the final elucidation of this article, the participants’ experiences during the collaborative drama project were analysed briefly through an interview as feedback on the research. Their self-perceived learning through collaborative drama is also highlighted.  \nKeywords: collaborative drama project, English language learning, undergraduate students  \nIntroduction  \nIn the Indonesian curriculum for all level schools starting from elementary, junior secondary, secondary until tertiary, English is one compulsory subject that must be taught to learners as the first foreign language. At the tertiary level of education such as in our institution, students who are eager to prepare themselves to be English teachers could choose to study in our English study program. We offer a good arrangement and quality of English education since our curriculum has recently been adjusted to the newest governmental law of education to accommodate pedagogical content knowledge, language content knowledge, curricular knowledge, assessment and evaluation, and information computer technology in the curriculum of the English study program.  \nIn our school context, the students are expected to be able to use English in daily life, especially for communication. Thus, English learners need to be actively using English to master it well. Students’ involvement and engagement in the learning activities could help them escalate their language skills (Akbari, Naderi, Simons, & Pilot, 2016). One way to enhance students’ English language skills is  \n∗English Lecturer, Sekolah Tinggi Keguruan Ilmu Pendidikan Pasundan, Indonesia.  \n±English Teacher, Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan Pasundan, Indonesia.  \nby performing a Drama play. Drama activities are not only useful in helping the students acquire foreign language skills, but they can also foster students’development of intellectual, social, and emotional skills (Schenker, 2017). Doing a collaborative drama project provides opportunities for students to engage in learning activities and foster their language skills (Alasmari & Alshae’el, 2020; Guliyeva, 2011; Nanda, 2016; Schenker, 2017; Uysal & Yavuz, 2018).  \nPrevious studies have pointed out some benefits of having a collaborative drama project for students. Alasmari and Alshae’el (2020) found that drama helped students to develop their communicative skills, such as speaking fluency and stronger bonding with the teacher and their peers. In addition, students’ motivation, self-esteem, spontaneity, and empathy improved during the drama activity. Another benefit is that the students increased their vocabulary acquisition (Alshraideh & Alahmadi, 2020); and social engagement and language comprehension (Nanda & Susanto, 2021) . More empirical studies on the effect of drama exercises on the foreign learner are needed (Uysal & Yavuz, 2018).
