The purpose of this study is to suggest the necessity and the direction of using brain-based dramatized activities in the classroom. In order to achieve this purpose, the brain-based theories such as the stages of development, Bloom's taxonomy, the theory of multiple intelligence, and the information processing theory were reviewed. Especially, the logical-mathematical, verbal-linguistic, musical, spacial, kinesthetic, personal intelligences were considered in terms of the left and right hemispheres. This study included the analysis of primary textbooks, classroom observations, and teachers' guidebooks. The results revealed that learners had little motivation to learn English, and they did not have enough chances to learn English. In this respect, various teaching methods based on dramatized activities need to be developed according to the levels of learners. Thus, the necessity and the direction of using dramatized activities such as improvisation, role plays, simulations, and pantomimes were suggested considering the stages of development, Bloom's taxonomy, the theory of multiple intelligence, and the information processing theory.
