It aimed to measure the differences between the experimental and control groups in skills acquisition among students. The study was conducted on 140 students from both genders (males=70 and females=70). The students were divided into four groups: each has 35 students. The study adopted an experimental approach by observing students’ behavior through affecting their communication and thinking skills with using drama. The findings confirmed that using drama in teaching significantly affected on the experimental group than the students of the control group who were taught with traditional methods as the experimental group achieved better results than the control group. Furthermore, the study stressed the possibility of benefiting from the drama in teaching other practical courses at the university level and provided several recommendations in this regard as well.
