Given that the demand for a ‘practical’ curriculum rather than an academic one increases in reactions against so-called the ‘crisis’ of English studies in Korea, this paper aims to propose the need for incorporating Communicative Approaches into English literature classrooms. Exploring various benefits of using English literary works, dramas in particular, as useful materials for promoting both language and voice in ways that will enrich students' understanding of English literature, this paper suggests a major paradigmatic shift in the field of English studies in Korea. Offering a wide range of drama techniques which are focused on both communicative and humanities activities, this paper provides theories on how and why Communicative Approaches to English drama classrooms can encourage both language learning through combining humanities with applied linguistics. This shift will usher in a radical movement away from traditional approaches to ‘experiential’ approaches to English literature, because it emphasizes process, social skills, cooperative learning, dynamic curriculum, meaning-based activities, and not least humanities.
