Abstract : Constant research on performance in the class to improve the practitioner’s methodology is the focus of this study. It is a process of studying a real school or classroom situation in order to understand and improve the quality of actions or instruction. This study looks at how live performances and drama activities can make teaching more creative and help students learn English as a foreign language in a fun and engaging way. Each time we leave a performance, we are reminded that theatre and dance are the most evanescent of art forms, and that what we have just seen can never be beheld again in the exact same way. Live-performance activities used in the classroom turn even the most disinterested students into active ones and develop their language skills further. The students also experience cooperative and solidarity feelings amidst each other. Students exhibit a great deal of creative energy. They try to be productive, cooperative, sustaining both dedication and commitment to task. This research looks at a new methodology to upgrade creative teaching to FL students in teaching English at Tirana University. Such Live-performance activities experienced with the students of the Faculty of Foreign Languages in Tirana have been energized with and by them whilst organizing different drama activities. One of the findings was that drama activities helped students build empathy, think critically, and improve their language skills, with the teacher’s guidance playing a key role in their success.
