| description | Over the past few years, learning English has gained significant importance throughout Colombia. In order for students to accomplish proficiency in this language, different strategies and methodologies are used to help improve their basic language skills. This article explores the use of drama as a strategy to develop two basic English language skills: reading and speaking. Additionally, social relationships among eleventh graders at a public institution are examined. Values, such as leadership, and the use of voice, body language, concentration, and shyness displayed during the activities were analyzed among the students. The most relevant findings form this experience are presented and described as a way to encourage teachers and students to think of drama as a useful pedagogical strategy applicable not only in linguistics, but in social and personal fields as well. |

El aprendizaje del inglés ha venido tomando importancia en Colombia desde los últimos años. Los estudiantes necesitan ser proficientes en este idioma, usando diferentes estrategias y metodologías que pueden ayudarles para mejorar sus habilidades básicas. Este artículo explora el rol del teatro como una estrategia para desarrollar dos de las habilidades básicas del inglés: lectura y escritura; así como las relaciones sociales entre los estudiantes de grado once de una institución pública. Además, los valores adicionales que esta estrategia puede generar en estudiantes al momento de trabajar en ella. De esta manera, se presentan los resultados y conclusiones de la experiencia, con el fin de motivar a los docentes e incluso estudiantes a pensar al teatro como una estrategia pedagógica útil que puede ser aplicada no solo en la parte lingüística, sino también en los campos personal y social.
